Nicolas Toussaint Charlet (1792 - 1845) was a French painter. A disciple of Antoine-Jean Gros, he was a Bonapartist and is remembered for his paintings depicting historical episodes such as the Russian campaign of 1812 and the Napoleonic ascent. His masterpiece is The Retreat of Russia of 1836, now at the Musée des beaux-arts in Lyon; the painting was admired and praised by Eugène Delacroix. More than paintings, he owes his fame to the fisegni and to the prints; it was Géricault who taught them of a strong and colorful lithography.
