EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures the poignant moment of farewell between Joseph Poniatowski, a renowned soldier and statesman, and his loved ones. Created in 1816 by Charles Lasteyrie du Saillant, this print showcases the emotional depth of this historical event. Poniatowski, dressed in his distinguished military uniform as Marshal of France, stands at the center of the composition. His wife gazes at him with a mixture of pride and concern, while their child clings to her side. The general's hat rests on a nearby table adorned with regalia symbolizing his esteemed position. As he prepares to depart for battle under Napoleon's command, Poniatowski is beseeched by his family members who desperately cling to him. Their expressions reveal both love and fear for what lies ahead. The artist skillfully captures the essence of patriotism and sacrifice through intricate engraving techniques. Every detail contributes to the narrative - from Poniatowski's determined expression to the subtle symbolism embedded within each element. Displayed in Cracow's Czartoryski Museum in Poland today, this lithograph serves as a powerful reminder of one man's dedication to his country and loyalty towards Napoleon Bonaparte. It immortalizes an important chapter in history that resonates with viewers even centuries later. This image evokes admiration for not only Poniatowski but also countless soldiers who fought alongside him during tumultuous times. It invites us to reflect on their bravery and selflessness while reminding us that heroes are not
