Napoleon Bonaparte's Victory at the Battle of Chebreisse, 13 July 1798: A Turning Point in the Egyptian Campaign This evocative print commemorates a pivotal moment in the Egyptian Campaign of the French Revolutionary Wars, as Napoleon Bonaparte emerges triumphant following the Battle of Chebreisse on 13 July 1798. The French army, under the command of the young and ambitious general, had been engaged in a fierce struggle against the combined forces of the Ottoman Empire and the Mamluk Sultanate. The Battle of Chebreisse marked a significant turning point in the campaign, which had begun in earnest in late May 1798 when the French fleet, under the command of Vice-Admiral Brueys, successfully landed an invasion force near Alexandria. Despite initial successes, the French faced stiff resistance from the local forces, culminating in the Battle of the Pyramids on 21 July 1798, where the French emerged victorious but at great cost. The Battle of Chebreisse took place as part of the French effort to push south towards Cairo, the capital of the Mamluk Sultanate. The battle saw the French army, now under the direct command of Napoleon, engage the Mamluks in a hard-fought battle that lasted for several hours. The French emerged victorious, with the Mamluks suffering heavy losses and retreating to the safety of their fortified positions in Cairo. This print captures the moment of Napoleon's victory, with the general depicted on horseback, raising his hat in triumph as his troops cheer and celebrate around him. The Egyptian landscape, with its pyramids and palm trees, serves as a striking backdrop to the scene of military triumph. The print serves as a testament to the military prowess and determination of Napoleon Bonaparte and the French army during the Egyptian Campaign, a campaign that would have far-reaching consequences for Europe and the Middle East.
