This lithograph, titled "Vue de la Vallée de la Fluvia à Castelfollit," was drawn by C. Langlois and lithographed by Godefroy Engelmann. It depicts a serene yet strategic view of the Fluvia River valley near Castellfollit, Spain, with French troops in the foreground during the Napoleonic Wars. Soldiers and local figures appear in conversation near a campfire, with a bridge and the rugged Catalonian landscape framing the composition.
This piece is part of a series of lithographs illustrating the Spanish campaign during the Peninsular War, created in the early to mid-19th century. Engelmann’s precision and use of color enhance the scene's depth, combining military narrative with picturesque landscapes.
