EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print captures a significant moment in history - the return of Napoleon Bonaparte's body to Cherbourg, France on December 8,1840. The image portrays the solemn transfer of his coffin from the frigate Belle Poule to the steamer Normandie. Napoleon's journey began years earlier when he died on May 5,1821, in Santa Helena. Now, almost two decades later, his remains are finally making their way back to his homeland. The scene depicted in this artwork showcases the aging and worn-out state of both the coffin and its surroundings. The artist skillfully conveys a sense of history through intricate details and expert engraving techniques. Every stroke tells a story - from the weathered appearance of Napoleon's final resting place to the somber expressions on the faces of those involved in this historic event. As we gaze upon this piece, we are transported back in time to witness an extraordinary moment that shaped European history. It serves as a poignant reminder of Napoleon's legacy and impact as Emperor of France. Through this print by V. Adam & Arnout, we can appreciate not only their artistic talent but also their ability to capture historical events with such precision and emotion. This artwork is truly a testament to both artistry and historical significance.
