EDITORS COMMENTS
The historic moment captured in this engraving by Drolling from 1837 shows French general Louis Alexandre Berthier and Austrian general Baron Michael von Melas signing the convention of Alexandria in Italy on June 15, 1800. This agreement gave the French control over all the castles and squares occupied by the Austrians in Piemont and Liguria, marking a significant turning point in the Napoleonic Wars. Berthier, known for his strategic brilliance, played a key role in securing this important victory for France. The image captures the tension and diplomacy of the moment as two powerful military leaders come together to negotiate terms of peace. The intricate details of the engraving bring to life this pivotal event in European history, showcasing not only the historical significance but also highlighting the artistry of Drolling's work. The chromolithography technique used adds depth and richness to the scene, making it feel almost like a snapshot frozen in time. This print serves as a reminder of how wars can be won not only through battles on the battlefield but also through diplomatic negotiations. It is a testament to Berthier's skill as a leader and strategist, as well as an important piece of historical documentation that sheds light on this crucial moment during one of Europe's most turbulent periods.
