National Glory Lasalle

PELLERIN19th century

Musée Bertrand
Châteauroux, France

While known to his soldiers as an inveterate seducer, Antoine Lasalle is also especially famous for his numerous armed deeds under the Empire. He distinguished himself there in every campaign: in Italy, Egypt, Russia and Poland, Spain, and finally in Germany and Austria. An incredible character, he lost his life at the age of 34 to the terrible fate of a bullet in the forehead during the battle of Wagram.
The episode Pellerin chose to illustrate seems to be a scene from the Battle of Austerlitz, during which Lasalle allegedly carried enemy flags to Napoleon.
