Context edit
Lepiani's work portrays the entry of the rebel montoneras led by Nicolás de Piérola in Lima against the Peruvian Army of then president Andrés Avelino Cáceres in the Peruvian Civil War of 1894–1895 of the postwar era, after the War of the Pacific that pitted the republics of Peru and Bolivia against Chile.[2]
The painting is characterized by being from the group that Lepiani dedicated to the events of both the war and post-war periods. The work is described as Peruvian "historical realism" by the University of the Pacific.[2] The National Library of Chile has an official photograph of the painting in its archives.[1]
