Napoleon Bonaparte's Rally at the Battle of Arcole Coffee Mug
The acrid smoke of battle stung Gros' eyes as he crouched amidst the chaos. The thunder of cannons and rattle of muskets filled the air. The French had been pushed back once more, their attempt to seize the bridge a bloody failure. Yet, there, emerging from the smoke, stood Napoleon. ---- Gone was the image of a mounted general. Here, Napoleon stood resolute on the muddy battlefield, a stark figure in his blue coat. His left hand held his sword outwards, a symbol of command. But it was his right hand that held Gros' attention. It gripped the flagpole of the Armée d'Italie, the French banner held high. --- This wasn't a prideful gesture, but a desperate rallying cry. Napoleon, the embodiment of the French fighting spirit, urged his men forward. His unwavering stance was a beacon of defiance in the storm of battle. Gros saw the determination etched on Napoleon's face, the toll the battle had taken, yet there was no fear, only an iron will to see the French prevail. --- In that moment, Gros knew he had to capture this image. It would be a testament to the resilience of the French soldier, personified by their leader. By depicting Napoleon on foot, leading from the front, Gros aimed to create a powerful and relatable image. He wasn't a distant figure on a horse, but a man sharing the same dangers as his troops. The painting would serve to inspire the French people, to show them the unwavering leadership that guided their army. --- This work by Antoine Jean Gros is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.

The quality of these larger mugs is very good. I have been putting mine through the dishwasher all the time and it shows no signs of fading or dulling. Ergonomically these are lovely to hold and have fast become my favourite mug for a big cup of tea or coffee.
Totally recommend getting the tea infuser with the mug especially if you like using loose leaf tea, which always tastes better from my experience and is better for the environment. Printing was good, bright and most importantly accurately matches the colouring shown on the website.
