Jean Baptiste Ambroise Marcellin Jobard, a Belgian lithographer and inventor, captures the chaotic atmosphere of the conflict through precise line work and tonal shading. The composition focuses on the architectural ruins of the farmstead, which served as a fortified point for Allied troops against French forces throughout the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the foreground, the artist illustrates the immediate consequences of the engagement, showing fallen soldiers and horses amidst the debris of the battle. Smoke billows from the structures, obscuring the background and creating a sense of urgency. The soldiers are positioned near the walls, firing their muskets into the fray. The print reflects the contemporary interest in documenting the Napoleonic Wars, providing a visual record of the destruction that occurred at this specific site. Jobard uses the lithographic medium to achieve a range of grey tones, effectively conveying the smoke, the texture of the stone walls, and the stark reality of the battlefield. The work avoids romanticised depictions of war, opting instead for a reportage style that focuses on the tactical nature of the defence. The inclusion of the title at the base of the print aligns with the conventions of nineteenth-century historical documentation, where such images were often produced for public consumption to inform those far from the front lines about the progress and cost of the conflict. This piece remains a valuable historical document for those interested in the Napoleonic era and the evolution of military illustration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/le-representant-a-dit-denis-auguste-marie-raffet\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eLe Représentant a dit by Denis-Auguste-Marie Raffet\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/marengo-hippolyte-bellange\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eMarengo by Hippolyte Bellangé\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/jean-baptiste-ambroise-marcellin-jobard\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#2a555a;border:1px solid #2a555a;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#ffffff;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eJean Baptiste Ambroise Marcellin Jobard prints →\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Jean Baptiste Ambroise Marcellin Jobard","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59463033651535,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59463065207119,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59463065239887,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59463065272655,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59463065305423,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59463065338191,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59463065370959,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59463065403727,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59463065436495,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59463065469263,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59463065502031,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59463065534799,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Le-Chateau-et-la-Ferme-d-Hougoumont_Poster_CompositorV1_1792128880923.jpg?v=1794365988","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/le-chateau-et-la-ferme-dhougoumont-jean-baptiste-ambroise-marcellin-jobard","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
