General Jean-Baptiste Kléber and Egyptian Family (Sketches for "The Battle of the Pyramids") , c. 1835. Antoine-Jean Gros (French, 1771-1835). Oil on linen; framed: 377.2 x 126 x 12 cm (148 1/2 x 49 5/8 x 4 3/4 in.); unframed: 352.1 x 97.8 cm (138 5/8 x 38 1/2 in.); former: 306 x 98 cm (120 1/2 x 38 9/16 in.). In 1810, Gros exhibited a massive painting of Napoleon at the 1798 Battle of the Pyramids, one of the rare French triumphs in the failed campaign to conquer Egypt (1789-1801). After Napoleon first fell from power in 1814, the painting went into storage, until the new king Louis-Philippe chose to resurrect it for a history museum in Paris. However, perhaps to diminish Napoleon's significance, the government asked Gros to amplify the original with an addition at each end. This painting incorporates General Kléber, a famously successful military leader who had been excluded from the original painting.
