Napoleon Bonaparte’s triumphal entry into Milan in May 1796 occurred during a military campaign which saw the rapid conquest of much of the Italian peninsular. Bellangé was commissioned to provide an illustration of the event for a biography following Napoleon’s death in 1821. However, this oil sketch was probably painted a little later and in preparation for a larger picture which was not realised. Inscriptions / Translations: Inscribed I.r.: Eug. Delacroix Notes: Exhibited: 'Delacroix, ses Maitres, ses Amis, ses Eleves', Galerie des Beaux-Arts, Bordeaux, 1963 (no.20) |
