EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense and pivotal moment of Napoleon Bonaparte at the Siege of Toulon on 17th December 1793. Illustrated by G. Montorgueil in a vibrant color litho, this artwork from Bonaparte showcases the talent of Job, pseudonym for Onfray de Breville. The scene depicts the fierce battle for the anti-revolutionary port of Toulon, where Napoleon's strategic brilliance shone through. The city had surrendered to the Bourbons, leading to a combined force consisting of British, Spanish, and Bourbon troops occupying it. However, with his unwavering determination and military prowess, Napoleon led a successful attack on a crucial fortress during this siege. In this image filled with action and chaos, we witness violence erupting as soldiers engage in hand-to-hand combat amidst flying flags and storming forces. The Union Jack flutters defiantly against an impending French victory while British troops are seen fleeing in defeat. The illustration evokes a sense of urgency and desperation as both sides charge towards each other in a melee that will determine the fate of Toulon. It serves as a powerful reminder of the tumultuous times during the French Revolution when battles like these shaped history. Bridgeman Images presents this remarkable piece from Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France; its historical significance is undeniable. This print encapsulates not only an iconic moment but also symbolizes resilience and triumph amid adversity.
