Marshal Brune

---

Historical miniature of Marshal Guillaume-Marie-Anne Brune - 54 mm, scale 1/32. In 1796 he fought under Napoleon Bonaparte in the Italian campaign, and was promoted Général de Division for good service in the field. He commanded the French army which occupied Switzerland in 1798 and established the Helvetic Republic, and in the following year he was in command of the French troops in defence of Amsterdam against the Anglo-Russian Invasion of Holland under the Duke of York, which was completely successful - the invaders were defeated in the Battle of Castricum, and compelled, after a harsh retreat, to re-embark. He rendered further good service in Vendée and in the Italian Peninsula during the years 1799 - 1801.
