Frontispiece to The Poems of Ossian
Jean-Baptiste Isabey, 1805. Bibliothèque Nationale, Paris.
From The Reception of Ossian in Europe, edited by Howard Gaskill:
“There is ... a very interesting watercolour version [of François Gérard’s Ossian Evoking Phantoms at the Edge of the Lora]
by Jean-Baptiste Isabey (1767-1855) made as a frontispiece for one of Napoleon’s copies of Ossian (Hohl and
Toussaint 1974, 109).”
