Nicolas Jean-de-Dieu Soult was a French general, Duke of Dalmatia, Marshal of the Empire and minister.
Of bourgeois social origins, he made a rapid career in the army of the Republic, standing out for his energy and military ability during the revolutionary wars. Promoted to general in 1794, in 1804 he was appointed marshal of the Empire by Napoleon Bonaparte.
Regarded by the emperor as one of his best lieutenants and the "best maneuverer in Europe", he played a decisive role at the battle of Austerlitz and the battle of Jena.
Moved to command the army in Portugal and Spain in 1808, he scored many victories but, at odds with the other French commanders, failed to prevent the Duke of Wellington's British reinforcement. Nicolas Soult, not lacking in ambition, selfishness and venality, was a skilled tactician and strategist capable of putting his adversaries in difficulty and always tenaciously contending for the pass to the enemy.

- Three studies of Bloom Richard Hamilton James Joyce Ulysses illustration printBy Richard HamiltonLocated in New York, NYRichard Hamilton began studying James Joyce's novel Ulysses (1922) during his national service in 1947. Hamilton was inspired by the idea of illustrating Joyce’s complex, experimental novel in and began making sketches the following year, only to put the project to one side in 1950, with no publisher willing to front the exorbitant cost of resetting the novel for illustrations. It was not until 1981 that he made the decision to create one illustration for each of the novel’s eighteen chapters, and a nineteenth image – a portrait of one of the novel’s main protagonists, Leopold Bloom – destined as a frontispiece. He conceived these images as large intaglio...Category
