This military painting of superior quality was shown by its 23-year-old author (he will die a year later), the Parisian artist Jean-Louis Gudin, at the exhibition of the Salon de Paris of 1822 (see our image nr. 26). It is titled "M(onsieur) Dubois à Alexandria" and shows a scene with the famous Napoleonic military surgeon Antoine Dubois (see our image nr. 28), bandaging General Jean-Baptiste Kléber (see our image nr. 29), who was wounded in the head during the the Capture of Alexandria, Egypt, 1798.
We also recognize a third person in this scene - the observer of the proceedings "Officier de Santé en chef", Dr. Dominique Jean Larrey (see our image nr. 30).
We see also two, standing over the Larrey's figure, Kleber's aides-de-camp.
Shortly after the painting was shown at the Salon it was reproduced in 1823 (before the artist's death on March 31 of the same year, or after?) by the Parisian lithographer Waher (see our image nr. 27).
This oil painting by the young artist, which is extremely rare to find on the antique market, was one of only two of his paintings shown at the Salon. The second was exhibited there in 1824, when Gudin was already no longer alive.
Louis (Jean-Louis) Gudin (1799 Paris - 1823 ibd.) was the brother of marine painter Théodore Gudin. As a boy he visited the Lycée Bonaparte and entered the Parisian Ecole des Beaux-Arts on January 30, 1817, where his teacher was the great Anne-Louis Girodet. Besides his activity as a painter he also worked as a lithographer.
On March 31, 1823, he drowned in the river Seine in the middle of Paris while rowing with his brother Théodore.
