1774 1852 Auguste Frederic Medal Sash Marmont
EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph print showcases the distinguished likeness of Auguste-Frederic-Louis Viesse de Marmont, a renowned French soldier and military commander during the Napoleonic Wars. Born in 1774, Marmont rose through the ranks of the French military, earning the title of Marshal of France in 1804. He was a decorated soldier, having received numerous accolades for his military prowess, including the Grand Cross of the Legion of Honor and the Order of Saint-Louis. The image captures Marmont in his full military regalia, adorned with a red sash and a gold medal on his chest. The medal, known as the Grand Cross of the Order of the Reunion, was awarded to him in 1852, long after his military career had ended. The intricate details of his uniform, complete with gold braid and various insignia, are a testament to the grandeur and opulence of the French military during this period. Marmont's military career was marked by several significant victories, including the Battle of Abukir in 1801 and the Battle of Wagram in 1809. However, his most notable achievement came during the Peninsular War, where he successfully defended the city of Saragossa against the Spanish and British forces. Marmont's tenacity and determination earned him the nickname "The Iron Marshal." Despite his military successes, Marmont's career was not without controversy. He was criticized for his harsh treatment of civilians during the Peninsular War, and his actions during the Hundred Days War, where he initially sided with Napoleon before defecting to the Allies, raised questions about his loyalty. Nevertheless, Marmont's military accomplishments and legacy as a French military commander continue to be celebrated in French history.
