EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "After the Battle of Lodi, the old soldiers offered their young commander has the rank of corporal, origin of the nickname The Little Corporal, that remained with Napoleon" depicts a significant moment in history. It showcases a colorful lithograph by Job, pseudonym for Onfray de Breville, Jacques (1858-1931), and is part of a private collection. The image transports us back to May 10th, 1796, after the Battle of Lodi during the French Revolutionary Wars. In this scene, we witness an extraordinary act of respect and loyalty from seasoned soldiers towards their young commander - Napoleon Bonaparte. They offer him the rank of corporal as a gesture that would later give birth to his famous nickname - The Little Corporal. The composition beautifully captures this pivotal event in Napoleon's life. We see him standing tall inside his tent while being saluted by his devoted troops. The vibrant colors bring life to every detail: from the intricate military uniforms to the waving flags representing France and Italy. This artwork not only tells us about Napoleon's rise but also reflects on themes such as honor, camaraderie, and determination within an army. It serves as a reminder of how legends are born through acts of bravery and unwavering dedication. As we admire this historical piece captured by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we can't help but be transported into an era where one man's destiny was forever changed on that fateful day at Lodi battlefield.
