| dc.description | Right side view with surgical instruments on upended canon; Pierre-Jean David was a French sculptor and medallist. He adopted the name David d'Angers to distinguish himself from the painter Jacques-Louis David (who was an early mentor but no relation). The monument honors Dominique Jean Larrey (8 July 1766 -25 July 1842) who was surgeon-in-chief of the Napoleonic armies from Italy in 1797 to Waterloo in 1815 and an important innovator in battlefield medicine. He initiated the modern method of army surgery, triage, field hospitals and the system of army ambulance corps. The statue stands in the courtyard outside the historic Val-de-Grâce military hospital (now Musée du Service de Santé des Armées). The base is decorated with four bronze bas-reliefs (each 75 cm high) of Napoleonic battles; Beresina (Berezina), the Pyramids, Somosierra and Austerlitz. The monument was paid for by public subscription. Source: Wikipedia; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page (accessed 4/30/2014) | en_US |
