Plague of Jaffa, Antoine Jean Gros, Louvre, Paris.

JAFFA, PLAGUE OF, Antoine Jean Gros, Louvre, Paris; canvas, H. 17 ft. 6 in. × 23 ft. 7 in.; signed, dated Versailles, 1804. General-in-Chief Bonaparte, in order to inspire confidence in his army, visited, March 11, 1799, his plague-stricken soldiers in the hospitals at Jaffa. Scene—The interior of a mosque surrounded by a large court, converted into a hospital; near the centre, Bonaparte, followed by Berthier and Bessières, and attended by physicians, touches without fear the body of a plague-stricken sailor; the dying, the sick, and the convalescent on all sides. Salon of 1804. Gros received 16,000 francs for the picture, which was very successful. Engraved by Laugier, and by Queverdot and Pigeot.—Landon, Musée, xii. Pl. 1-2; Villot, Cat. Louvre;
