19th century Napoleonic engraving - "La Revue" - Jazet after E. Lamy - Chambure series - Original frame

Description
A rare and elegant 19th-century engraving entitled "La Revue", illustrating an iconic scene of Napoleon Bonaparte, captured in all his power... and humanity.
This remarkable work was engraved by Jean-Pierre-Marie Jazet, based on a composition by the painter Émile Lamy, two well-known names in 19th-century academic art.
It is part of the famous historical series :

"Napoleon and his contemporaries" published by Auguste de Chambure - Trait XLI

Each plate in this series illustrates a specific episode in the Emperor's life - in this case, a moment of rare dramatic intensity.

An emotional scene
The engraving shows Napoleon reviewing his troops in front of Madrid, when a young woman throws herself at his horse's feet to beg for mercy for her father, condemned for fighting against France.
Touched by her plea, the Emperor grants clemency.
A powerful scene, in which the figure of the strategist gives way to that of a man capable of mercy.
A romantic and deeply narrative vision, typical of the 19th century.
