Napoleon Bonaparte as a young man, c 1790s, (c1830). Artist: Delpech
Napoleon Bonaparte as a young man, c 1790s, (c1830). Napoleon (1721-1818) enjoyed a meteoric rise through the ranks of the French Revolutionary army. In 1799 he led a coup to overthrow the government, the Directory, and became first consul and effective dictator of France. In 1804, he declared himself Emperor, and embarked on a series of military campaigns across Europe, the Napoleonic Wars. Victories such as Austerlitz and Jena led to France establishing its power across much of the continent. In 1812, however, Napoleon embarked on a disastrous invasion of Russia and defeat at Leipzig in 1813 led to his abdication and exile to Elba. He ecaped in 1815, raised another army, but was finally defeated by Wellington at Waterloo, and exiled again to St Helena

EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print captures Napoleon Bonaparte as a young man in the 1790s, showcasing his rise to power and influence. Artist Delpech beautifully portrays the charismatic leader who enjoyed a meteoric ascent through the ranks of the French Revolutionary army. In 1799, he orchestrated a coup that toppled the Directory government, establishing himself as first consul and de facto ruler of France. By 1804, Napoleon declared himself Emperor and embarked on an ambitious series of military campaigns known as the Napoleonic Wars. The image showcases Napoleon donning his military uniform with pride, exuding authority and determination. His signature is prominently displayed beneath him, symbolizing his commanding presence both on and off the battlefield. As one of history's most iconic figures, this portrait immortalizes Napoleon's reign during a pivotal period in European history. However, it also serves as a reminder of his eventual downfall. Despite numerous victories across Europe such as Austerlitz and Jena, Napoleon's ill-fated invasion of Russia in 1812 led to defeat at Leipzig in 1813. This marked the beginning of his abdication and subsequent exile to Elba before briefly escaping in 1815 only to be defeated by Wellington at Waterloo. Delpech's lithograph not only captures Napoleon's physical appearance but also encapsulates his legacy as an influential military strategist turned emperor whose actions shaped European politics for years to come.
