499808 General Jean-Baptiste Kl矇ber (Sketch for "The Battle of the Pyramids"), c.1835 (oil on linen) by Gros, Antoine Jean (1771-1835); 377.19x126.02 (framed) 352.1x97.8 (unframed) cm; Cleveland Museum of Art, OH, USA; (add.info.: In 1810, Gros exhibited a massive painting of Napoleon at the 1798 Battle of the Pyramids (see below), one of the rare French triumphs in the failed campaign to conquer Egypt (1789-1801). After Napoleon first fell from power in 1814, the painting went into storage, until the new king Louis-Philippe chose to resurrect it for a history museum in Paris. However, perhaps to diminish Napoleon??? significance, the government asked Gros to amplify the original with an addition at each end. This painting incorporates General Kl矇ber, a famously successful military leader who had been excluded from the original painting.); John L. Severance Fund; French, out of copyright.
