EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history as Napoleon Bonaparte, the renowned French emperor, makes his way through the treacherous St. Bernard Pass Hospice on May 20th, 1800. Engraved by Merou and based on an aquatint by Charles Louis Lucien Muller, this artwork showcases the remarkable journey undertaken by Napoleon and his troops. Set against a backdrop of majestic snow-covered mountains and a serene alpine lake, this image portrays the harshness of winter in the Alps. The soldiers accompanying Napoleon are seen braving these challenging conditions with determination and resilience. Napoleon's presence at St. Bernard Pass Hospice holds great significance as it symbolizes his strategic military maneuvers during one of Europe's most turbulent periods.

The attention to detail in this print is exceptional; every element from the soldiers' uniforms to their expressions conveys a sense of purpose and urgency. It serves as a reminder of both Napoleon's indomitable spirit and the sacrifices made by those who fought under him.
