This early work, housed at the Musée d’Orsay, is also known as “The Misfortunes of the City of Orléans”. It is a complex and violent historical composition. Riders, including women shooting bows, traverse a landscape strewn with the nude bodies of victims. The scene is brutal and inspired by the old masters, but Degas infuses it with a very personal strangeness and cruelty. It is an allegory on the violence of war, which can also be interpreted in light of the American Civil War, contemporary to the work.
