The Departure from the Coast, or the End of the Farce of Invasion, October 1,1805
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a vibrant and satirical print by Thomas Rowlandson that captures a pivotal moment in history. Depicting Napoleon Bonaparte as he prepares to leave the English Channel after his failed attempt to invade Britain, this artwork offers a humorous commentary on politics and power. In this hand-colored etching, we see Napoleon portrayed as a donkey-headed figure riding an iron lion. The absurdity of this image reflects Rowlandson's mockery of Bonaparte's ambitions and perceived arrogance. Surrounding him are various politicians and military figures who appear both amused and relieved at his departure. The composition is filled with witty details that add depth to the narrative. From the iconic British crown placed atop Napoleon's head to the people urinating into the Channel in jest, every element contributes to creating a sense of farce surrounding this historical event. Rowlandson's use of color adds vibrancy and liveliness to the scene, enhancing its comedic effect. The artist masterfully combines satire with political commentary, highlighting how even powerful leaders can be subject to ridicule. This print serves as both entertainment and social critique, offering viewers an opportunity to reflect on larger themes such as nationalism, ambition, and international relations. "The Departure from the Coast" remains an important piece within Rowlandson's body of work for its artistic skill and insightful portrayal of historical events during one of Europe's most turbulent periods -the Napoleonic Wars.
