EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, created by Jean Urbain Guérin in around 1798, showcases General Jean Baptiste Kleber, a pivotal figure during the French Revolutionary Wars. The general is depicted in a formal attire, wearing a black coat adorned with gold gilding and silver buttons. His white shirt, cravat, and breeches are also visible beneath the coat. The general's sideburns and well-groomed facial hair add to his distinguished appearance. The portrait is executed in the form of a miniature, oval-shaped painting, which was a popular format for portraits during the 18th century. The artist, Jean Urbain Guérin, expertly uses watercolor and gouache on ivory to create a lifelike and intricate depiction of General Kleber. General Kleber, born in Strasbourg, rose to prominence during the French Revolutionary Wars, serving as a military leader and Marshal of France. He played a significant role in the campaigns against the Austrians and the British in Italy and Egypt. The portrait captures the essence of the general's military prowess and leadership, making it an essential piece of French and military history. This portrait is now part of the collection of Musée Cognacq-Jay in Paris, one of the city's most esteemed museums, and a testament to the rich cultural heritage of France.
