Marazon in the Louvre
I have been trying for some time to check out a painting in the Louvre which I think is called Marazon or Marillon. It shows a young cadet dying in an ambush in Algeria which would date it about the 1830s or 1840s. When I last saw it, it was hanging in the gallery with Guericot and Delacroix. I would like to know the painter's name, and anything about the painting or the incident that it portays. I would place it amongst the category of 'heroic death'. Also, whether there is a website that features the painting?
Thank you.
