This print, drawn by Achille Louis Martinet and engraved by Félix Alexandre, depicts the victory won in 1794 by Bon Adrien Jannot de Moncey, commander of the Western Army of the Pyrenees, against the Spaniards during the War of the Pyrenees in the French Revolution. The scene shows Moncey on horseback in the midst of battle, surrounded by his staff, while smoke, infantry charges, and saber fighting emphasize the violence and momentum of the clash. The image highlights the heroization of the general, presented as personally leading his troops in a decisive engagement. Produced between 1803 and 1813, this etching belongs to the series “Fastes de la nation française” and forms part of the patriotic iconography devoted to the Revolutionary and Napoleonic campaigns.
