Overview
Les mémoires des acteurs de l’épisode napoléonien (comme ceux de Rapp et Savary), et les écrits de Sainte-Hélène (Las Cases, Antommarchi, Gourgaud, O’Meara, Bertrand) ont contribué à rendre populaire le portrait d’un Desaix intelligent, magnanime, un des meilleurs généraux de la Révolution. Ce portrait est rehaussé par les sentiments d’amitié et d’admiration que Desaix aurait nourris à l’égard de son chef Bonaparte. Réciproquement, Napoléon a contribué à grandir la mémoire de celui qui sacrifia sa vie pour le sauver à Marengo. La légende de Desaix, général à l’antique, créée dès le Consulat, se fonde, entre autres facteurs, sur ce type de récits. The Legend of Desaix in the Memoirs of Two of his Aides-de-camp and in the writings of Saint Helena.The memoirs of those who took part in the Napoleonic saga (such as Rapp and Savary) and the writings of Saint-Helena (Las Cases, Antommarchi, Gourgaud, O’Meara, Bertrand) have contributed to the popular image of Desaix as intelligent, magnanimous and one of the best generals of the Revolution. This image is strengthened by the feelings of friendship and admiration Desaix is said to have nurtured towards his chief Bonaparte. Reciprocally, Napoleon helped magnify the memory of the man who sacrificed his life to save him at Marengo. The legend of Desaix, a general in the antique mould, created under the Consulate, is based in large part on this type of narrative.
