EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative portrait captures the enigmatic beauty and regal presence of Caroline Bonaparte, Sister of Napoleon I and wife of Joachim Murat, King of Naples. Born Marie-Annonciade Nicolas-Clotilde Bonaparte in 1782, Caroline was the younger sister of the legendary French emperor. Her striking curly dark hair and oval face were the talk of European high society, and she was known for her intelligence, wit, and strong will. In 1808, Caroline married Joachim Murat, a military commander in the Napoleonic army, who was later crowned King of Naples by Napoleon himself. Caroline reigned as Queen of Naples alongside her husband until 1815, when the Bourbon monarchy was restored following Napoleon's defeat at Waterloo. This portrait, created in 1839, captures Caroline in her prime, dressed in the regal attire befitting a queen. Her dark curls are piled high on her head, adorned with a diadem, and her piercing gaze commands attention. The intricate details of her elaborate gown and jewels add to the opulence of the image, highlighting the grandeur of the Naples court during the brief Bonaparte reign. Caroline's life was marked by intrigue, power, and tragedy. She was a sister to one of the most influential figures in European history, a queen consort in her own right, and a survivor of the tumultuous political landscape of the early 19th century. This portrait offers a glimpse into the life of a remarkable woman who played a significant role in the history of Europe.
