EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the solemn moment of Napoleon Bonaparte on his deathbed in May 1821. Painted by the talented artist Horace Vernet, this artwork showcases the Emperor of France during his final days on the island of St Helena. Napoleon's defeat at Waterloo in 1815 and subsequent surrender to the British led to his exile, where he eventually met his demise. In this image, we see a close-up profile portrait of Napoleon's face as he peacefully rests with closed eyes. The tranquility surrounding him is enhanced by the presence of a crucifix symbolizing his Christian faith. The composition includes various elements that reflect both history and nature. A laurel wreath adorns Napoleon's headpiece, representing victory and honor throughout his reign. The inclusion of plants adds a touch of life amidst this poignant scene. Horace Vernet masterfully captures every detail within this square image, highlighting not only Napoleon's physical features but also conveying a sense of introspection and contemplation. This painting serves as an intimate glimpse into the final moments of one of history's most influential figures. Displayed at the National Museum of Legion d'Honneur, this artwork stands as a testament to Napoleon Bonaparte I’s legacy and impact on French society during his rule as emperor. It immortalizes an iconic figure whose life was filled with triumphs and setbacks, leaving behind an indelible mark on world history.
