Hello community, this is a thread for sharing your favourite awesome paintings for the Napoleonic Wars.
So basically post your favourite paintings depicting whatever parts of the Napoleonic wars, whether its whats in the painting that you find great or the lighting, or an epic particular part of a painting that you like, any painting based in the era you like, post it here.
I'll start with mine:
Old Guard Chasseurs charging at Waterloo
Painting of the Battle of Leipzig I think?
Square at Waterloo
An Old Guard Grenadier who looks a lot like my ingame character 
Painting of the Battle of Hanau 1813
Painting of the battle at Placenoit at Waterloo
Waterloo
My favourite picture of the Old Guard
The Old Guard on parade
Marshal Ney, the Bravest of the Brave supporting the rearguard from Russia
And heres a little more info about the event itself: Marshal Ney then formed the rear guard while the Cossacks quickly closed on him. He formed his troops into square and, taking musket in his own hand, let them onwards. By midnight he reached Dnepr River and crossed it. On November 21 he reached Orsha and Napoleon.
Ney's die-hards' arrival in Orsha raised the morale of the army. For this action Ney was given the nickname ‘the bravest of the brave’ by Napoleon.
Dorsenne and the Guard at Aspern-Essling
