"Le Général Autrichien Kray Rend Hommage Au Général Marceau Le 21 Septembre 1796" is a historical painting by French artist François Bouchot, created in 1835. The artwork commemorates a notable event from the French Revolutionary Wars, specifically the aftermath of the Battle of Altenkirchen, where French General François Séverin Marceau-Desgraviers tragically lost his life. The painting captures the moment when Austrian General Paul Kray von Krajova pays his respects to the fallen Marceau, illustrating a rare act of chivalry and respect between military adversaries during a time of widespread conflict.

Bouchot's work is significant for its portrayal of the mutual respect between the two generals, transcending the hostilities of war. The painting is a testament to the codes of honor that were held in high regard by military leaders of the era. It depicts a somber scene with Kray, surrounded by his officers, standing before Marceau's body, which is laid out with dignity, as a mark of respect for the young general's valor and the sorrow of his untimely death at the age of 27.

François Bouchot (1800-1842), a pupil of Antoine-Jean Gros, was known for his historical and genre paintings.

This painting not only serves as an artistic representation of a historical event but also provides insight into the period's military customs and the broader cultural attitudes towards honor and death in battle. It remains an important work for the study of French Romanticism and the visual culture of the Napoleonic era. The painting is held in a public collection, allowing for continued appreciation and analysis by both art historians and the general public.
