Works by Alphonse de Neuville (1835-1885), in the public domain, each linked to its record in the museum that holds it. Born in Saint-Omer and encouraged early on by Eugène Delacroix, Neuville was, with Édouard Detaille, the great painter of the Franco-Prussian War of 1870, in which he had served as an officer of the Garde mobile: he went back to the battlefields, studied weapons and uniforms, and painted the soldiers' resistance rather than the defeat. He also illustrated Jules Verne and Victor Hugo. Only works that the museums give to him without reservation, and of which a freely reusable photograph exists, are included: those of museums that place their images in the public domain (New York, Baltimore, Washington, Williamstown, Dublin) or, for the paintings in Paris and Sydney, another free photograph, whose origin is given on the page of the work. The titles are those of the museums, with their translation.
