Summary

Épisode de l'expédition du Mexique en 1838

Scene from the Mexican Expedition in 1838, the Prince of Joinville on the poop of the corvette Créole listens to the report from the vessel's Lieutenant, Penaud, and sees the explosion of the tower of the Fort of Saint-Jean d'Ulloa on 27 November 1838. The frigate Gloire can be seen in the background.

Horace Vernet (1789–1863) was a French painter of sporting subjects and vast battle panoramas, notably those in the Gallery of Battles at Versailles. The son and grandson, respectively, of two well-known painters, Carle Vernet and Joseph Vernet, Horace developed a remarkable facility for working on a grand scale and became one of France’s most important military painters.
