EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Nef belonging to Empress Josephine de Beauharnais, a remarkable piece from 1804. Crafted in silver-gilt by the talented Auguste Henry, this masterpiece is housed at the majestic Chateau de Fontainebleau in Seine-et-Marne, France. The Nef is an embodiment of opulence and elegance, reflecting the grandeur of the First Empire style. Its intricate design features a stunning ship or boat as its central motif, adorned with delicate relief work and ornate tableware. The figures depicted on this centrepiece are engaged in animated conversation, adding life and dynamism to the scene. Empress Josephine herself was known for her impeccable taste and love for neo-classical art. This elaborate piece served as a symbol of her status as Napoleon Bonaparte's wife and showcased her refined aesthetic sensibilities. The argent surface of this Nef adds a touch of luxury while highlighting its importance as part of an impressive surtout de table or table centerpiece. The figurehead at its bow further enhances its regal allure. Capturing both historical significance and artistic brilliance, this print allows us to appreciate the beauty and craftsmanship behind Empress Josephine's treasured possession. It serves as a testament to her enduring legacy within French history and offers us a glimpse into the lavish world she inhabited during her reign alongside Napoleon Bonaparte.
