EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage engraving from 1797 captures a remarkable moment in history - Buonaparte at Rome giving audience in state. The renowned artist, Isaac Cruikshank, skillfully depicts Napoleon Bonaparte seated on a humble throne, wearing tattered clothing that contrasts with his powerful presence. In an act of defiance and dominance, the French emperor kicks off the crown from the pope's head as he receives the keys of St. Peter at his feet. With a touch of humor, Napoleon reminds the pope to remove his hat when serving a gentleman. The scene is filled with intriguing details: cardinals follow closely behind the pope, one holding Mary Magdalene's Cracked Pitcher while another clutches Virgin Mary's Peticoat. Behind Napoleon stands a soldier nonchalantly urinating into a font labeled Holy Water, adding an element of irreverence to this historic tableau. This engraved image showcases not only Cruikshank's illustrative technique but also provides us with valuable insights into Victorian art and culture. It serves as a reminder of our rich historical past and invites us to reflect on how power dynamics can shape significant events. As we gaze upon this artwork from centuries ago, we are transported back in time to witness this extraordinary encounter between two influential figures - Buonaparte and the Pope - forever immortalized through Isaac Cruikshank's masterful engravement.
