THÉODORE GÉRICAULT Passage du Mont Saint-Bernard.
Lithograph, 1822. 355x415mm; 14x16¼ inches, wide margins. Third state (of 4). Published by A.V. Arnault. From Vie Politique et Militaire de Napoléon. A very good impression.
This early lithograph by the French Romantic movement artist Géricault (1791-1824) represents Napoleon and his troops crossing the Alps at the Saint-Bernard pass during the campaign against the Austrian army in Italy in 1800. Napoleon's quick maneuvering through the Alps caught the Austrians, who were laying siege to Genoa, by surprise and he won a decisive battle at Marengo which led to his installation as First Consul and ultimately Emperor of France. Delteil 44.
