	Battle of the Bridge of Arcole - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Battle of the Bridge of Arcole (Bataille du Pont d'Arcole in French), occurred between November 15 and November 17, 1796.
		The battle was the culmination of a manoeuver game between the 19 000 man strong French army led by general Napoleon Bonaparte, and the 24 000 man strong Austrian army, led by general Alvinczy.
		The event on the bridge was depicted in a famous painting by Horace Vernet where Bonaparte can be seen holding a battered flag valiantly leading his troops across the bridge; however, in reality, a French military officer feared for his leader's safety, and pushed him into the river.

		The city of Arcole is situated in the middle of swampland, near the confluence of the Adige and the Alpone about twenty kilometres southeast of Verona.
		On the 16th and 17th, the combat started up again; Bonaparte had a bridge built on the Alpone in order to allow Augereau's divisions to pass and surprise the Austrian troops from the rear, allowing Massena (arriving from Ronco) to attempt to cross the bridge at Arcole.
		Today, it is possible to visit the battle site with the famous bridge, still intact in its 1796 form, and an obelisk, built in 1810 on the right bank of the Alpone recalling the victory of the French over the Austrians.

		At the time of his complaint, under the Restoration, the government answered him 'That it will be paid when Napoleon returns to the throne!' Another demand was that of Jean Anselme Denis who refused to accept the medal as long as the government had not refunded 43,50 francs due to him for dismissal in 1815.
		I found also Antoine Salvi Albenge of the 26th Dragoons and the 14th Chasseurs, wounded in the head at the battle of the Bridge of Arcole.

	Neo-Classical: Pupils of David
		Although he revered David and became one of his favorite pupils, Gros had a passionate nature and was drawn more to the color and vibrancy of Rubens and the great Venetian painters than to the Neoclassical purity of his master.
		The first result of this collaboration was the handsome painting of Napoleon on the Bridge at Arcole, which became an instant success.
		Compared to the contemporary war scenes of Goya, they might be labeled glamorous lies, but they are painted with such dramatic skill and panache that they cannot but be admired on their own terms.

		It has been pointed out that Bonaparte in Arcole did not bear the Tricolore flag, which hardly existed on land at that time, but the flag of the 5th infantry demi-brigade.
