Description

Based on the work by Antoine-Jean Gros exhibited at Versailles: Impressive full-length portrait of Claude-Victor Perrin, Napoleon's marshal.

He quickly distinguished himself during the first Italian campaign, but it was at the battle of Friedland against Tsar Alexander's Russian army that he particularly distinguished himself. A few years later, at the crossing of the Berezina, he once again demonstrated exemplary composure, resisting the Russian attacks on foot to protect the Grande Armée's difficult retreat. Napoleon said: "Victor is better than we think. When he crossed the Berezina, he made the most of his body.

This oil on canvas in a wooden frame comes from the Château de Prat in the Ariège region of France. Built in the 13th century, it was originally the residence of the Counts of Comminges. This painting is part of an important series of four large portraits of Empire figures commissioned by the château's former owner and now in our possession: Maréchal Augereau, Maréchal Victor, Maréchal Sérurier and Charles-Maurice de Talleyrand.
