Painting by Auguste Debay, 1835, musée national des châteaux de Versailles et de Trianon.

An enemy column, which had marched along the Adige River under the protection of powerful artillery, headed straight for the Rivoli plateau to capture it, thereby threatening to outflank Bonaparte's right and center. To resist, he ordered various cavalry maneuvers. At the same moment, General Joubert brought down several battalions from the heights of San Marco, which plunged into the Rivoli plateau, and, rifle in hand, like a simple grenadier, he himself charged at the head of a platoon. The enemy, who had already penetrated the plateau, attacked fiercely from all sides, leaving a large number of dead, part of their artillery, and retreated into the Adige valley.

When he [Daendels] and three companies occupied the government hotel on the Plein, the French ambassador, Delacroix, who had also attempted to trip him up in Paris, was also there. He wanted to address the grenadiers, whom the directors had come to arrest; the men were completely deaf. Between bayonets, he was led to the house of his compatriot, General Joubert.

Arriving outside, the furious ambassador shouted at Daendels: “Scoundrel, you will answer to the French Republic and its government for the atrocities you dare to commit!" But Herman Willem had also learned French in Paris. "I don’t care about you, tyrant of my homeland!” (...)

Imagination is the eye of the soul.
