Napoleon The Little in a Rage with His Great French Eagle!!, September 20,1808
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures the fiery spirit of Napoleon Bonaparte during his reign as Emperor of France. In this hand-coloured etching by Thomas Rowlandson, we witness a comical yet powerful scene that epitomizes the indomitable nature of one of history's most iconic figures. The image portrays Napoleon Bonaparte, known as "Napoleon The Little" engaged in an intense confrontation with his beloved symbol of power and patriotism – the majestic French Eagle. With feathers ruffled and wings spread wide, the eagle stands tall on its perch while Napoleon gestures animatedly towards it. This clash between man and bird encapsulates both their shared determination and fierce independence. Rowlandson's artistic skill shines through in his attention to detail, from the intricate etching lines to the vibrant colours used for hand-tinting. The composition exudes energy and movement, capturing the essence of this historical moment with wit and charm. This print serves as a reminder not only of Napoleon's military prowess but also his larger-than-life personality. It offers viewers a glimpse into an era marked by political upheaval and grand ambitions. As we gaze upon this artwork at the Metropolitan Museum of Art or any other location where it is displayed, we are transported back to a time when empires clashed, nations rose and fell, all under the watchful eye of an emperor who left an indelible mark on history.
