That picture just shows the Spanish infantry charge (I can't remember the regiment) during the battle of Bailen. Its author is Ferrer Dalmau who has a lot of pictures of the Spanish military history.
 
Another favourite of mine, its a picture of the battle of Montmaril in 1814, where Ney led 6 Battalions of Old Guard into battle, you can see them charging in this painting.

Its of the Old Guard Grenadiers advancing and you can see Napoleon on the right. I like the Winter outfit the Grenadiers have with them blue trousers :smile:

I've always liked this one too, its of the 44th East Essex Regiment of Foot at Quatre Bras where it saw heavy action.

It is the fighting at Placenoit, The old Guard fighting the prussians. however i do believe it is a bit dramatized with all that fire. Looks amazing though.
 
Just giving this a good bump as I found this painting of General Marbot returning the 14th of the Line's Eagle after it was nearly destroyed at the battle of Eylau:

I believe this is of the Old Guard Grenadiers at the Battle of Essling, could be wrong.

Nice! That figure in front (taking out a new cartridge) is actually an old guard artillerist!  :grin:
