Allégorie. Relative à Buonaparte Général des Armées Française a &c. &c. dans l'expédition contre l'Angleterre. Dédiée au Directoire par V.M. Picot.
P. (Picot?) Inv.t V.M. Picot Sculp.
A Paris chez V.M. Picot Rue des Postes No. 25. à l'Estrapade. [n.d. c. 1800]
Rare stipple. 412 x 546mm (16¼ x 21½"). Restored nicks and tears to edges; two repaired holes upper left. Unidentified collector's stamp verso.
Allegory either responding to or forecasting victories for Napoleon against the British. A portrait of the young Napoleon (around the time of his Italian campaign) is carried aloft by angels looking down on Envy in chains. Engraving by Victor Marie Picot (1744-1802), printmaker who spent nearly thirty years in England running a print-selling business in St. Martin's Lane. In 1790 he returned to France and set up businesss in Abbeville and then Paris. This large patriotic engraving is a departure from the gentle female figures in classical dress that dominated his production while in partnership with Delattre in London.
