EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - "The entry of the French into Venice, Floreal, Year 5 (May 1797)". It depicts Napoleon's triumphant arrival in Venice during his successful campaign to expel the Austrians from northern Italy in the French Revolutionary Wars. The image showcases the grandeur of this historic event and highlights the architectural marvels that adorn Venice. In this scene, we witness an imposing army marching through the streets as they make their way towards Piazza San Marco. The soldiers are led by none other than Napoleon Bonaparte himself, who stands tall and resolute at the forefront. Surrounding him are buildings steeped in rich Italian heritage, including a magnificent basilica and cathedral that symbolize centuries of Christian influence. The composition beautifully combines elements of religion, culture, and warfare against a backdrop of Venetian architecture. The artist skillfully employs aquatint techniques to bring depth and texture to every detail captured on paper. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Jean Duplessis Bertaux's Historica Graphica Collection, we are transported back to May 1797 when Napoleon's presence forever altered Venice's destiny. This print serves as a testament to both historical significance and artistic excellence - a true treasure for any admirer of European history or fine art aficionado alike.
