1784 1860 Bonaparte Braid Brother Jerome Miniatu Napoleon Oval Sash Westphalia Youngest
EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite oval print depicts Jerome Bonaparte (1784-1860), the youngest brother of Napoleon I, in his regal attire as King of Westphalia. The image captures Jerome's strong and determined gaze, reflecting his leadership qualities. He wears the distinctive uniform of the Westphalian army, adorned with gold braid and a sash bearing the royal insignia. Jerome's tenure as King of Westphalia began in 1807, following the Treaty of Tilsit, which saw Napoleon divide Europe into satellite kingdoms to secure his dominance. Jerome was granted the kingdom as a reward for his loyalty and military prowess. The new monarchy was based in Kassel, Germany, and Jerome ruled until 1813, when the French were defeated and the kingdom was dissolved. Despite the brevity of his reign, Jerome left a significant mark on Westphalia. He implemented various reforms, including the establishment of a centralized administration, the creation of a national bank, and the introduction of a uniform civil code. He also encouraged the development of industry and agriculture, leading to economic growth. This miniatu offers a glimpse into the life of a lesser-known yet influential figure in Napoleonic history. The intricate details of Jerome's uniform and the rich gold tones of the print serve as a testament to the grandeur of the Westphalian court during this period. The image not only provides a historical record but also evokes a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era.
