EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning bonbonniere adorned with intricate portraits of historical figures from the Napoleonic era. Crafted by the talented artist Jean-Baptiste Isabey, this exquisite piece features delicate gold, ivory, and enamel work that truly mesmerizes the viewer. The bonbonniere proudly displays four portraits: Eugene de Beauharnais, Hortense de Beauharnais, Josephine Beauharnais, and Louis Bonaparte. These individuals played significant roles in French history as members of Napoleon's family. Eugene served as Viceroy of Italy and was Napoleon's stepson; Hortense was his daughter and later became Queen of Holland; Josephine was Napoleon's first wife and Empress of France; while Louis Bonaparte was his brother. Given to Napoleon I by Josephine herself, this bonbonniere holds immense sentimental value. It symbolizes not only their personal connection but also represents the power dynamics within the royal family during that time. The attention to detail in this artwork is remarkable. The miniature portraits capture each individual's likeness flawlessly while showcasing their regal attire. This enchanting piece serves as a testament to Isabey's exceptional skill as an artist. Preserved at Musee National du Chateau de Malmaison in Rueil-Malmaison, France, this bonbonniere offers us a glimpse into a fascinating period in history. Its beauty transcends time and continues to captivate art enthusiasts worldwide.
