EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a study of General Soult (1769-1851), captured by the talented artist Mathieu Ignace van Bree (1773-1839). The image depicts General Soult during the historic moment of Bonaparte's entry into Antwerp on 18th July 1803, when he served as the First Consul. With its delicate details and precise execution, this small-sized artwork measures only 7.2x5.6 cm but carries immense historical significance. General Soult, also known as Nicolas Soult, duc de Dalmatie, was a prominent figure in French military history. This portrait serves as a preliminary study for an elaborate painting that is part of a series featuring 119 portraits. Currently housed at the Louvre Museum in Paris, France, this particular piece captures the essence and character of General Soult with remarkable precision. During his career under Napoleon Bonaparte's rule, General Soult played a crucial role in various military campaigns and eventually rose to become Marshal of France in 1804. This drawing represents him during his time serving as consul from 1799 to 1804. The intricate lines drawn with pierre noire on paper bring out every detail of General Soult's features and convey his strong presence and determination. As we gaze upon this remarkable work of art, we are transported back to an era defined by power struggles and grandeur—a testament to both artistic skill and historical importance.
