The paintings of Victor Ambrus are familiar to several generations.
He has illustrated over 300 books on classical and historical
subjects in his own instantly recognisable style. Over the years he
has amassed what amounts to a visual record of the entire history
of warfare, brought together here. With a concise text explaining
the background to each battle scene, Battlefield Panoramas is a joy
to browse through and will win a place on the shelves of all those
with an interest in conflict — or simply a love of illustration.
Beginning with the siege of Troy, the many scenes include
Caesar’s invasion of Britain; the Viking raid on Lindisfarne;
Hastings; Agincourt; the Battle of Sedgemoor; the Siege of Athlone;
the storming of the Bastille; Trafalgar; Waterloo; the
Franco-Prussian War; the BEF in the First World War; the Normandy
Landings; and the 1956 Hungarian uprising. The latter illustration
takes on a particular power and resonance when you know that Victor
was there.
