THE PAINTER:
Isidore PÉAN DU PAVILLON, born in 1790 in Rennes and died on June 13, 1856, in Paris, was a French painter. A student of Jacques-Louis David, he exhibited at the Salon from 1814 to 1844. He married Laure Lay (1801-1869). Their son Isidore Joseph Félix Pineau du Pavillon would be a house painter, and their daughter Marie Emma Pineau du Pavillon would work in printing. He died in Paris at the age of 66 and was buried at the Montparnasse Cemetery on June 15, 1856.

HISTORICAL CONTEXT:
In 1820, a royal ordinance by Louis XVIII reorganized the French army units by transforming departmental legions into line infantry regiments. Thus, the 23rd line infantry regiment was formed in Bayonne with the 3 battalions of the Loire-Inférieure Legion.
The 23rd line infantry regiment participated in the campaign of 1823 as part of the 1st corps of the Army of Spain.
In 1830, attached to the Army of Africa, it was part of the expeditionary force against the Régence of Algiers and took part in the campaigns of 1830 and 1831, notably at the siege and capture of Algiers from June 30 to July 5, 1830, at the battle and capture of Blida, and at the battle of Col de Mouzaïa in November of the same year.
