National Glory Marshal Masséna

The darling of victory, this is how Napoleon nicknamed Masséna after his victory at Rivoli.
Victorious in all battles, Masséna was made marshal in May 1804, after the proclamation of the imperial regime. Nevertheless, he did not fail to oppose Napoleon's political choices, since he even went so far as to join the Bourbons during the Emperor's first abdication.
Perhaps this is why Pellerin decides to present a battle episode, under his portrait, where it is Napoleon who is in the spotlight at the Battle of Wagram.
