Like the paintings, this bronze shows an idealized view of the real crossing that the Napoleonic army made by the Col du Saint-Bernard in 1800, which allowed the French to surprise the Austrian army and win the victory at the Battle of Marengo in June 1800.
As in David's paintings, this bronze refers to Hannibal (annibal), the great Carthaginian general who walked on the Italian peninsula during the Second Punic War and won a great battle against the Romans. Napoleon was known for citing Hannibal and compared his attack on the Austrians with the attack on the Romans by Hannibal.
This sculpture was cast according to the "lost wax method" and has a brown patina and is signed. It is mounted on a black marble base and will not fail to attract the attention of all those around it.
