Abstract:
If author dwell upon Baron General Louis-Francois Lejeune’s painting entitled “The Battle of Moskova” and painted in 1822, they can notice a man standing in the corner of the canvas. The man in uniform has brown hair and is putting a bandage around an injured man’s face. If they look at it carefully, they can easily identify that this man who is practicing surgery is none other than Dominique Larrey, the Chief Surgeon of Napoleon’s Great Army in 1812.
