Description:

This monumental historical painting depicts the pivotal moment of the Surrender of Bailén, a significant Spanish victory during the Peninsular War against Napoleonic forces in July 1808. The composition centers on the dramatic surrender ceremony where French General Pierre Dupont (in white uniform) is shown capitulating to Spanish General Francisco Javier Castaños amid a gathering of military officers from both armies. The scene unfolds on a battlefield with soldiers, flags, and military equipment visible in the foreground, while the expansive landscape of Andalusia with mountains stretches into the distance under a dramatic sky. The artist meticulously renders the detailed military uniforms, expressions of pride and defeat on opposing faces, and the ceremonial gravity of this historic moment. Completed in 1864, this work exemplifies 19th-century academic history painting with its precise draftsmanship, theatrical composition, and patriotic subject matter that commemorates one of Spain's most celebrated military victories against Napoleon's army.
