It is not known why August von Pettenkofen accompanied the Austrian army as a war artist in the Hungarian War of Independence of 1848/49, but this military conflict preoccupied the artist as a subject through to the 1860s. His paintings do not represent Austrian and Russian soldiers in heroic poses, however, but capture the daily privations and horrors of war using a dark palette. The genre-like depiction of Bivouacking Russian Soldiers is still entirely in the tradition of Biedermeier Realism. By contrast, Transportation of Wounded Soldiers II and After the Battle appear harsh and austere.Painting10191624455Upper Belvederehttps://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/apis/iiif/presentation/v2/1-objects-455/manifest
