  Swiss Guard and Wounded Veteran
  1819 Lithograph, 393 x 330 x 362 mm Mus?e du Louvre, Paris Like Goya G?ricault turned to printmaking, choosing the new technique of lithography to reach a popular audience. There is pity in his lithographs of the wounded returning from campaign, above all in The Retreat from Russia. These exhausted soldiers stand for an entire nation; but that they have not lost their pride is clear from a companion print, in which a one-legged veteran defiantly shows off his campaign medals to a slouching Swiss guard outside the Louvre, forcing him to present arms. Author: G?RICAULT, Th?odore Title: Swiss Guard and Wounded Veteran Form: graphics , 1801-1850 , French , other
