EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history - the Coup d'Etat of 18 Brumaire, November 10th, 1799. The colour lithograph depicts the intense scene at St. Cloud where Napoleon Bonaparte confronts and dissolves the Council of Five-Hundred during his rise to power. In this chaotic image, we witness the clash between guards and French soldiers as they navigate through a court filled with confusion and confrontation. The power struggle is palpable as Napoleon, resolute and determined, presents himself before the assembly of the Directoire. The atmosphere is charged with tension as Bonaparte's actions mark a turning point in France's political landscape. As premier consul, he reinstates his authority by dissolving an assembly that had become ineffective and corrupt. The composition skillfully portrays both historical accuracy and artistic flair. The attention to detail brings to life not only the characters involved but also their emotions during this critical event in late 18th-century France. This print from Bridgeman Images offers viewers a glimpse into a significant chapter in European history. It serves as a reminder of how one man's ambition can reshape nations and alter destinies forever.
