"Crossing the Po at Piacenza, 19 Floreal Year 4" is a significant historical painting by the French artist Carle Vernet, created in the early 19th century. Vernet, born Antoine Charles Horace Vernet in 1758, was renowned for his detailed and dynamic depictions of military scenes, equestrian subjects, and historical events. This particular work captures a pivotal moment during the Italian campaign of the French Revolutionary Wars, specifically the crossing of the Po River by French forces on May 8, 1796, which corresponds to the 19th day of the month of Floréal in the French Republican Calendar.

The painting vividly illustrates the strategic maneuver executed by Napoleon Bonaparte's army, which played a crucial role in the broader context of the campaign. Vernet's composition is marked by its meticulous attention to detail, dramatic use of light and shadow, and the dynamic portrayal of movement, all of which serve to convey the tension and urgency of the moment. The artist's ability to capture the essence of military action and the human experience within it is evident in the expressions and postures of the soldiers, as well as in the rendering of the landscape and the river itself.

"Crossing the Po at Piacenza" not only serves as a historical document but also as a testament to Vernet's skill and his contribution to the genre of military painting. The work reflects the broader artistic and cultural currents of the time, including the Romantic fascination with heroism and the sublime. It remains an important piece within Vernet's oeuvre and continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance.
