*Le Souper de Beaucaire*, or the *Supper at Beaucaire*, oil on canvas by Jean-Jules-Antoine Lecomte du Nouÿ, 1869-1894.

The Supper at Beaucaire was a pamphlet written by [Napoleon Bonaparte](https://www.worldhistory.org/Napoleon_Bonaparte/) in 1793, defending the necessity of France's Jacobin government right before the [Reign of Terror](https://www.worldhistory.org/Reign_of_Terror/). The pamphlet earned him the attention of Jacobin leader Augustin Robespierre, who published the pamphlet at public expense. [Napoleon](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/Napoleon/) (figure standing on the far right) is seen explaining his point of view to his fellow dinner guests.
