Known for his exceptional skills as a cavalry master, Murat's influence extended beyond land warfare when he was appointed as the great admiral of the empire in 1805. The engraving, created by Jacques Marie Gaston Onfray de Breville dit Job in 1910, beautifully captures Murat's commanding presence.

Its timeless quality allows us to appreciate not only the historical significance but also the artistic talent behind its creation.
