The Battle of Lodi (French: La Bataille de Lodi) is an 1804 history painting by the French artist Louis-François Lejeune. One of a number of battle scenes produced by Lejeune during his career, it depicts the Battle of Lodi fought on 10 May 1796 during the Italian Campaign of the French Revolutionary Wars. Forces of the French Republic under General Napoleon Bonaparte won a victory over an Austrian army near Lodi in Northern Italy.^[1]

Napoleon is shown mounted in the foreground directing French troops storming a bridge over the Adda River. The same year the painting was produced, Napoleon proclaimed himself as Emperor. The painting was exhibited at the Salon of 1804 at the Louvre in Paris, along with Lejeune's The Battle of Aboukir and a sketch of the The Battle of Mount Tabor.^[2] Today it is in the collection of the Palace of Versailles, having been acquired in 1861.^[3][4]
