When 140,000 Austrians laid siege to beleaguered French forces in Italy, the 30 year old Napoleon Bonaparte undertook his most daring mission yet. Channeling the spirit of Hannibal Barca, he led 40,000 men over the Swiss alps and into Italy for a surprise attack.

Napoleon’s ambitious gamble paid off, as he comprehensively defeated the Austrians first at the Battle of Montebello, and then at the Battle of Marengo five days later. This painting celebrates and commemorates the bold and daring spirit required to think creatively, act decisively, and fight your way to victory.
