Charles-Dominique dit Oscar LAHALLE
Nancy, 1834 - Paris, 1909
A Zouave halt
Watercolor
29 x 22 cm (46 x 38.5 cm with frame)
Signed lower left: "O. Lahalle".
A painter of military scenes, Oscar Lahalle was a pupil of Jean-Pierre Wachsmuth and Jean-Adolphe Beaucé. He exhibited at the Paris Salon between 1868 and 1900. A career officer, he took part in the Italian Campaign from 1859 to 1862 and the Mexican Campaign from 1862 to 1867 as Staff Captain to Marshal Bazaine. He is the author of souvenirs (5 notebooks), invaluable documents on the military campaigns of the Second Empire.
Our painting depicts a Zouaves halt, reminiscent of his 1864 painting "Une halte de zouaves du 3e régiment en expédition au Mexique" ("A halt for Zouaves from the 3rd Regiment on an expedition to Mexico"). These were the Zouaves who took part in the main battles of the Mexican expedition (Puebla, San Lorenzo, Oaxaca...) under the command of Colonel Mangin and Colonel Tourre de Chaussy. After taking Mexico City in 1863, French troops were left to pacify the state of Puebla and quell the rebellion. At the end of 1864, Marshal Bazaine (with whom the painter Lahalle worked) led the siege of the city of Oaxaca (perhaps in the background of the painting), stronghold of one of the last Mexican resistance fighters, the rebel leader Porfirio Diaz.
The Musée Royal de l'Armée in Brussels and the Museo Nacional de Historia in Mexico City house works by Charles Domnique Lahalle.
