Louis Charles Antoine Desaix was a renowned French General and military leader who met his tragic end in 1800. His death, depicted in an engraving by Barbant, marked a significant loss for France. As Napoleon Bonaparte triumphed in Italy, Desaix played a crucial role on board the ship named after him - the Desaix - as shown in a vibrant colour lithograph. Desaix's legacy lives on through various artistic representations. A coloured engraving titled "Le General Desaix" captures his heroic stature, while another coloured engraving portrays the apotheosis of Napoleon I, with Desaix among the revered heroes who fought and died for France. The chromolithograph simply titled "Desaix" showcases his distinctive features and unwavering determination. In another lithograph from 1896 by R. G. Tietze, we see Louis-Charles-Antoine Desaix portrayed with utmost respect and admiration. Not only known for his own demise but also for leading victorious battles against formidable opponents. The Battle of SAMAHOUD stands out as one such instance where under Desaix's leadership, the French defeated the Egyptians. Furthermore, an intriguing engraving depicts the capture of the Argentine Squadron off Monte Video – yet another testament to Desaix's strategic brilliance and military prowess. Finally, an awe-inspiring artwork entitled "Napoleon Crossing the Styx" symbolizes how he joins other fallen heroes of Grande Armée who sacrificed their lives for France; it serves as a poignant reminder of his enduring impact even after death.
