EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures a poignant moment in the tumultuous relationship between Napoleon Bonaparte and his beloved wife Josephine during their exile in Italy in 1796. The scene unfolds as Josephine, tears streaming down her face, struggles to come to terms with the difficulties she encounters in returning to France. Napoleon, ever the attentive and caring husband, offers her a reassuring embrace, vowing to hold the Austrians accountable for causing her distress. The historical backdrop of this emotional tableau is significant, as it marks a pivotal moment in the Napoleonic Wars. Having conquered Italy, Napoleon and Josephine had settled into a peaceful existence in the peninsula. However, their idyllic interlude was disrupted by the advancing Austrian forces, who sought to reclaim the territory. With the French army engaged in battle, Josephine was left stranded, unable to join her husband or make her way back to France. The image, titled "Napoleon the Comforter," poignantly illustrates the deep bond between the couple and Napoleon's unwavering commitment to protect and care for his wife. The emotional intensity of the scene is further underscored by the beautiful Italian landscape, which serves as a stark contrast to the turmoil and uncertainty that grips the couple. This powerful image, from the esteemed Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the complex and often tumultuous world of Napoleon and Josephine, providing a poignant reminder of their enduring love and the challenges they faced during their time together.
