## Image Caption
French minister of [war](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/War/) Lazare Carnot leads a victorious French Republican army during the [Battle of Wattignies](https://www.worldhistory.org/article/2138/battle-of-wattignies/) (15-16 October 1793), a significant engagement in the [War of the First Coalition](https://www.worldhistory.org/War_of_the_First_Coalition/) (1792-1797). Although Carnot played a vital role in resupplying the army, he would later overemphasize his own contribution to the victory.
Oil on canvas painting by Georges Moreau de Tours, 1893.
