Suvorovs March through the Alps, 1799, (1899), (1939). In 1799 and 1780, General Alexander Suvorov (1729-1800) commanded a Russian army in campaigns against the French in Piedmont and Switzerland. Faced with defeat, he led his troops in an epic retreat across several Alpine passes, reminiscent of Hannibal.

Surikov is known for his historical paintings in the Realist style. He was a member of the Peredvizhniki, an artists cooperative. Painting in the collection of The State Russian Museum, St Petersburg, Russia. From " The Russian State Museum". [State Art Publishers, Moscow and Leningrad, 1939]
