  • The Grand Duke Constantine's Regiment of Cuirassiers of The
    Johann Georg Paul Fischer (Hanover 1786 - London 1875) The Grand Duke Constantine’s Regiment of Cuirassiers of the Imperial Russian Army in 1806 signed and dated ‘Johann Paul Fischer fit 1815’ (lower left); dated 1815 (on the reverse); the mount inscribed with title and dated 1806 watercolour over pencil on paper, with pen and ink 20.5 x 29 cm (8 x 11½ in) This work by Johann Georg Paul Fischer is one of a series of twelve watercolours depicting soldiers of the various armies involved in the Napoleonic Wars, a series of conflicts which took place between 1803 and 1815, when Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821) was defeated at the Battle of Waterloo. The series is a variation of a similar set executed slightly earlier, held in the Royal Collection, and which was probably purchased by, or presented to, the Prince Regent. In this work, Fischer depicts various elements of the Russian army. On the left hand side, the Imperial Guard stride forward in unison, each figure looking gruff and determined. They are all tall, broad and strong and as a collective mass they appear very imposing. Even the drummer, who marches in front, looks battle-hardened and commanding. On the right-hand side, a cuirassier sits atop his magnificent steed and there appear to be further cavalry soldiers behind him. There is a swell of purposeful movement in the work, which creates an impressive image of military power. The Russian cuirassiers were part of the heavy cavalry and were elite troops as their ranks were filled up with the best soldiers selected from dragoon, uhlan, jager and hussar regiments.

  • Napoleon's Heavy Cavalry, the Cuirassier and Carabinier: Their Arms, Armor, and Tactics
    Napoleon's Heavy Cavalry, the Cuirassier and Carabinier: Their Arms, Armor, and Tactics Ricky E. Parrish Napoleon Bonaparte came to power in France after his coup of 18 Rmmaire year WIT (9 November 1799). Guided by his organizational genius, each branch of the French army- infantry, cavalry, and artillery-underwent a reorganization. Napoleon had definite ideas as to the role of each of these services, and he wanted to mold them into the most efficient army in Europe. According to Napoleon, there were four types of cavalry: scouts, light cavalry, dragoons, and Cuirus- siers (heavy cavalry).' On 17 September 1802, Napoleon ordered the heavy cavalry within the army to be reduced to twenty regiments: two Carabiniers and eighteen cuirassier^.^ (The Carabi- niers were elite heavy cavalry units), Originally, only six of these units were to be issued the cuirass; however, by the first problem was the weight of the weapon. The flat, end of 1803 twelve regiments of armored heavy cavalry unfullered blade was very heavy, and the troopers com- existed within the French army. 'l'wo more regiments of plained about this weight. The second problem was the Cuirassier were added by 1810, and the two Carabinier construction of the hilt. The three side bars did not extend regiments were armored after taking heavy casualties during into the pommel, which was a cause of weakness in the hilt. the 1809 campaign.3 Therefore, there were a total of sixteen The lack of a brass ferrule at the base of the grip gave the armored cavalry regiments in the French army at the height of weapon a tendency to split.
