Antoine-Jean Gros' paintings - 'Napoleon Visiting the Battlefield of Eylau', 'Napoleon Visiting the Plague-Stricken in Jaffa', and others - have come to be regarded as masterpieces of both art and propaganda. This is an account of his career, beginning in Paris in David's studio, to its Napoleonic successes and its end in a mysterious suicide.
