EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative oval print captures the intense gaze and resolute demeanor of Jean-Baptiste Kleber, a renowned French General of the late 18th century. Born in Strasbourg, Alsace, in 1753, Kleber rose through the ranks of the French military to become a key figure in the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars. Kleber is depicted here in his full military uniform, complete with a tricorn hat adorned with a cockade, the symbol of the French Revolution. The intricate details of his uniform, from the gold braid on his coat to the decorative epaulets on his shoulders, speak to the grandeur and prestige of his position. As a military leader, Kleber was known for his strategic prowess and unwavering commitment to the French cause. He played a crucial role in the defense of Toulon against British forces in 1793, and later led the French army in Egypt, where he was assassinated in 1800. Despite his tragic end, Kleber's legacy as a military hero endures. This print serves as a poignant reminder of his contributions to French history and the indomitable spirit of the French military during a time of great upheaval and change. The profile view of Kleber's face, with its strong jawline and piercing eyes, adds to the sense of strength and determination conveyed by the image.
