The Siege of Kosel is a large oil-on-canvas painting that was completed in 1808 by the German landscape artist Wilhelm von Kobell and is now in the collection of the Neue Pinakothek in Munich .
The actual incident shown took place on March 18, 1806 during the Napoleonic Wars . Napoleon and his Bavarian allies under Maximilian I Joseph of Bavaria had successfully invaded Silesia , then under the control of Prussia. He had left his youngest brother, Jérôme Bonaparte , to carry out a clean-up exercise that resulted in the capture of a small number of fortified towns, including Kosel .
