EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts Henri Gatien Bertrand, a renowned French soldier who played a significant role in the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. Created by Louis Leopold Boilly and now part of a private collection, this print showcases Bertrand's distinguished countenance in exquisite detail. Bertrand was not only a successful general but also an astute strategist, earning him great admiration among his peers. He became particularly notable for his close companionship with Napoleon during their exile on Elba and later on St. Helena. In fact, he accompanied the return of Napoleon's mortal remains from Saint Helena to France in 1840, highlighting their enduring bond. As one gazes upon this half-length portrait, it is impossible not to be captivated by Bertrand's commanding presence and dignified demeanor. The artist has masterfully captured every intricate detail of his visage, conveying both strength and wisdom. After his passing in 1844, Bertrand was laid to rest at Les Invalides—a fitting tribute to his remarkable military career and unwavering loyalty to Napoleon. This engraving serves as a timeless reminder of an extraordinary man whose legacy continues to resonate through history.
