EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Eugenie-Hortense De Beauharnais, the wife of Louis Bonaparte and Queen of Holland in 1807. The image showcases a tender moment between Hortense and her eldest son, Napoleon-Charles, who tragically passed away at the age of five. Hortense de Beauharnais was the daughter of Napoleon's first wife, Josephine de Beauharnais. In this engraving after Francois Gerard's painting, we see her standing elegantly with young Napoleon Louis Charles Bonaparte by her side. The monochrome effect adds a timeless quality to their portrait. The significance of this image lies not only in its historical context but also in capturing the essence of motherhood. Despite being part of an influential family during a tumultuous period in history, Hortense exudes warmth and love towards her child. Francois Pascal Simon Gerard skillfully portrays both mother and son with intricate details that bring them to life on paper. This print is taken from "Life of Napoleon Bonaparte" by William Milligan Sloane, published in 1896. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded not only of the power struggles and political alliances that shaped Europe during the late 18th century but also of the universal bond between a mother and her child transcending time itself.
