Louvre
Bonaparte Visits the Plague Victims of Jaffa is a propagandistic, oil-on-canvas painting commissioned by Napoleon and painted in 1804 by Antoine-Jean Gros, portraying an event during the French invasion of Egypt and Syria. The scene shows Napoleon during an event which is supposed to have occurred in Jaffa on 11 March 1799, depicting him making a visit to ill French soldiers at the Saint Nicholas Monastery. Napoleon commissioned the painting in an attempt to embroider his mythology and quell reports that he had ordered fifty plague victims in Jaffa be given fatal doses of opium during his retreat from Syria.
