New SOW Splash screens

As you know. We are creating a new toolbar  for Scourge of War Waterloo. We have added quite a  lot to it. I would like to add some splash screens.

Post your favourite paintings of the Napoleonic era.

Please take copyright into consideration.

We will choose the best ones and integrate them into our mod.

Great idea Asid!

We will add a watermark to the screens (D.O.W).

Maybe get Stardog to cast an eye over things. He's the graphics guy

Emile-Jean-Horace Vernet
The following paintings are part of the group: Four Battle Scenes.

I was reminded of these great works by our friend Agathosdaimon


The Battle of Jemappes
1821, Emile-Jean-Horace Vernet



On 6 November 1792 Dumouriez defeated the Austrians under the Duke of Saxe-Teschen and Clerfayt at Jemappes, near Mons. This led to the French occupation of Belgium.



The Battle of Valmy
1826, Emile-Jean-Horace Vernet



The French General Kellerman (Duc de Valmy) resisted the invading armies under the Duke of Brunswick at Valmy (between Reims and Verdun) on 20 September 1792. This action was a turning-point in the French revolutionary wars.



The Battle of Montmirail
1822, Emile-Jean-Horace Vernet



This painting depicts one of Napoleon's last successes in France, when he defeated the Russian General Sacken on 11 February 1814 at Montmirail, near Paris.



The Battle of Hanau
1824, Emile-Jean-Horace Vernet



The Campaign of Leipzig forced Napoleon to retire to the west of the Rhine, in the course of which the French defeated a force of Germans at Hanau, near Frankfurt, on 30 October 1813.

Agathosdaimon your artworks are really F A N T A S T I C S !!!

I don't know if this is something you do deliberately but in your artwork I often found at least one character looking at you. He seems is saying something like:

Hey, we're going to die, what are you looking for?

[Agathosdaimon]

thanks but just to be clear, as perhaps i was not clear in the post above - the images i posted just now are not my works but ones form other older artists i like, - just in case you re referring to them, but if you are referring to my actual art then i say thank you and there is more to come!

[Biondo]

I saw all of your artwork you made for Waterloo and the expansions.

I like them all

[Agathosdaimon]

[Asid]

Thanks Agathosdaimon. Look forward to more of your work.
