Battle of Caseros
Artista: Juan Manuel Blanes
Siglo XIX · Argentina
Colección: Juan Manuel Blanes
Juan Manuel Blanes's painting "Battle of Caseros" immortalizes the decisive confrontation of February 3, 1852, which ended the government of Juan Manuel de Rosas. The work presents a vast panorama of the battlefield, dominated by reddish and ocher tones that evoke the intensity and drama of the combat, with columns of white smoke rising above the troops in action. Blanes, a master of Río de la Plata historical painting, captures with realism and a heroic air the magnitude of this foundational event for Argentina, showing the military formations and the river in the background.
