Battle of Berezina, 1812

The French army suffered disaster on November 26-29, 1812, as it was attacked while crossing the Berezina River in what is now Belarus. Painter January Suchodolski gave his painting a triangular composition by drawing your eye to this woman in yellow woman in the left foreground, a woman with a child in the right foreground, and a massive explosion across the river in the centre background.
