There is something fishy about the picture of Beaupuy getting killed. Look up the picture's data and you will see that it is a fellow who was killed in October 1793 fighting in the Vendée. The enemy with the raised sword clearly has a hat like a Vendean, not an Austrian. Curiously, the French caption says "blessé" which means "wounded" in English. If Beaupuy was killed in 1793 then how did he get killed again in 1796 at the Battle of Emmendingen? I have been unable to track down any other Generals named Beaupuy in the French army of that era. Possibilities: (a) the painter really was under the impression that Beaupuy was killed when he was just wounded or (b) a colonel named Beaupuy was killed and he doesn't show up in the lists of generals.

- there is also something fishy about the link to Val d'Enfer. He was definitely killed in the Valley of Hell in the Black Forest, not somewhere in Provence. I don't have editing rights in French wiki, nor is my French sufficiently good enough for me to edit in French anyway. For someone with sufficient bilingual talents, perhaps this could be resolved. auntieruth (talk) 21:27, 5 January 2015 (UTC)Reply
- @Auntieruth55: Regarding the place of death, Valley of Hell (or Val d'Enfer in French), which is in the Black Forest in Germany, I fixed the links in French and English wiki. --MathieuMD (talk) 11:05, 29 September 2016 (UTC)Reply

- @Djmaschek: Regarding the picture, the Commons description, and both French and English wikis says he has been wounded in Château-Gontier, therefore I fixed the picture's label. --MathieuMD (talk) 11:05, 29 September 2016 (UTC)Reply
