Description
Bonaparte in Jaffa is an etching that belongs to to the suite AtlasBatt realized within Jacques Norvins’ Histoire de Napoleon, published in 1837. Author Jacques Norvins published one of the most comprehensive and influential histories on the life and military career of Napoleon, trought the works of the most important engravers of the time. 14×22 cm. Good conditions except for some yellow halos on the margins. The capture of Jaffa on March 7, 1799, and its violent sack by the French army, rapidly worsened due to the outbreak of an epidemic of bubonic plague which decimated the army commanded by Napoleon Bonaparte. On March 11, Bonaparte paid a visit to the sick, touching their wounds in the style of thaumaturgic kings, a fact considered bordering on the miraculous which helped fuel the Napoleonic legend.
