The French army crossing the St Bernard Pass, c1796, (1921). Creator: Francois Aubertin In this photo print, we witness a historic moment as the French army undertakes a daring expedition across the formidable St Bernard Pass. It is the year 1796, and under the command of General en chef Alexandre Berthier and at the orders of First Consul Napoleon Bonaparte himself, Marshal Louis-Alexandre Berthier leads his troops through this treacherous Alpine terrain into Italy. The image captures both the grandeur of nature and the determination of these brave soldiers. The towering Alps loom in the background, their snow-capped peaks serving as an imposing obstacle to be conquered. Yet amidst this majestic landscape, we see rows upon rows of disciplined soldiers marching forward with unwavering resolve. Francois Aubertin's engraving beautifully depicts this pivotal moment in history. Based on a drawing made on-site by engineer and geographer Gauthier, it offers us a glimpse into what must have been an arduous journey for these men. Their perseverance and courage are palpable even in stillness. This print serves as a testament to not only military prowess but also strategic genius. Napoleon Bonaparte's decision to lead his forces through such challenging terrain showcases his audacity and ambition. It was a move that would ultimately shape European history. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork from 1921, let us remember those who risked everything for glory and conquest - forever etching their names into our collective memory.
