EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a powerful moment from the Campaign of Austria in 1805. In Elchingen, Napoleon I Bonaparte visits the battlefield and encounters a grenadier from his army who fought alongside him in Egypt. Despite lying on his back, exposed to torrential rain, the grenadier continues to shout "forward" to his comrades. Moved by this display of unwavering loyalty and determination, Napoleon stops in his tracks. In an act of profound empathy and gratitude, Napoleon removes his own coat and approaches the grenadier. He offers a proposition that speaks volumes about their shared experiences and bonds forged through battle: "Join me, and I will reward you with the cross you deserve as well as a pension". The image beautifully illustrates this poignant exchange between two warriors amidst the chaos of war. The artist Jacques Marie Gaston Onfray de Breville dit JOB skillfully brings this historical moment to life with intricate detail and emotion. This remarkable piece is part of Georges Montorgueil's book "Napoleon" published in 1921. It serves as a testament to both the valor displayed by soldiers on the battlefield and Napoleon's ability to recognize their sacrifices. Preserved within a private collection, this photograph print invites viewers into history itself – allowing us to witness firsthand one man's recognition of another's bravery during times of adversity.
