EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the grandeur and splendor of the coronation of Napoleon I in December 1804. The image showcases two distinguished military figures, Louis Baraguey d Hilliers and Laurent de Gouvion Saint-Cyr, standing at the gates adorned in their elaborate costumes. Louis Baraguey d Hilliers, Colonel General of the dragoons, stands tall with a commanding presence. His resplendent uniform is complete with a plumed helmet and a sword by his side, symbolizing his authority as part of Napoleon's army. Beside him stands Laurent de Gouvion Saint-Cyr, Colonel General of the cuirassiers. He exudes strength and power in his striking attire which includes an intricately designed helmet and an ornate cuirassier uniform. The attention to detail in this engraving is remarkable; it beautifully captures every aspect of their costumes from original drawings found at Musee des Souverains. The artist Raphael Jacquemin has expertly brought these historical figures to life through his meticulous work. This print not only serves as a visual representation of the magnificence surrounding Napoleon's coronation but also provides valuable insight into French military uniforms during that era. It offers viewers a glimpse into European history during one of its most transformative periods - the Napoleonic Wars. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back to 19th-century France where armies were led by courageous commanders like Louis Baraguey d Hilliers and Laurent de Gouvion Saint-Cyr who played significant roles in shaping Europe's destiny under Napoleon's rule.
