The Russian force also had at its disposal a total of over 17,000 Cossacks and Militia.   The French started their assault the following day the 7th of September the French right wing started the attack under the command of Marshal Louis Davout. and the Other Flank, the left was commanded by Napoleons stepson, Eugene de Beauharnais. They to entered the battle by attacking the town of Borodino. During the afternoon of the fighting the Russian commander withdrew his troops to the second ridge due to the thousands of casualties he was sustaining under the relentless bombardment of the French Artillery which seem to be dominating the battle.  Amongst the dead was the Russian commander of the 2nd army Prince Petr Bagration who had been mortally wounded.   But due to their own losses the French were in no position to pursue the Russians and continue the fighting. The Russian army had lost some 45,000 men killed or wounded and the French casualties were 29,500.                              The Russian army retreated 70 miles outside Moscow but abandoned the city,  Some French Units entered Moscow on the 14th. Within 24 hours large fires had broken out across Moscow and over the following three days Most of the Russian capital had been destroyed.  Napoleon stayed in Moscow for 5 weeks, but decided to plan his retreat, leaving Moscow on the 19th October 1812.  The Battle of Borodino had been the Bloodiest battle of the 19th century,

ARTIST
Featured Artist - David Dipnall



David Dipnals evocative images of the restful idyllic scenes of southern England are well known, epitomising, as they have for years, all that is endearing about traditional English landscapes. His well known images of his beautiful and fertile homeland are a world away from Australia, where he now spends most of his time. In the last decade, David Dipnall estimates that he has travelled nearly 2 million miles, continuing to maintain a busy work schedule of exhibitions and regularly commuting between England and Australia. His originals are highly sought after, and over fifty of his images have been published as limited edition prints, many of which have sold out. Always a traveller, he believes in the philosophy that absence makes the heart grow fonder, and his beautifully detailed traditional English landscapes are definitely painted from the heart.
