Description

Created through Photoshops/Drawing Tablet.

A picture that started as a single figure but just kept growing in size.

Drawn from my own interest in the Napoleonic Wars of the late 18th and early 19th century.
This is not based on any particular battle, rather just an overall desire to create a battle painting. The Hussars are though based on the 7th and the Austrians are based on line Infantry wearing the leather caps which were later replaced with Shakos.
It is interesting that going back previous centuries one finds in the Arbatel de Magia Veteram, the Olympic Gods under various names such as Ophiel, Aratron, Bethor, Och Hagith, Phul and Phaleg and to each of these forms of Godhead/Higher Being/Current was an age given that they ruled over - cyclical of course. For Hagith who is a form of Venus, the period most recent of their presiding was 1410 to 1900. I must agree that it is interesting that Venus was attributed to this period of time being that this period saw such an explosion of creativity and exquisite beauty in art, architecture, music and even in the uniforms of soldiers from Renaissance Landsknechte through to the Hussars, Dragoons, Carabineers, Grenadiers etc of the 19th century

Of course following Venus is Mercury and Mercury has indeed ruled over the 20th century in its various forms.
