EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Josephine Tasher de la Pagerie, the Empress of the French, in a moment of contemplation. Painted by Baron Antoine Jean Gros in 1808, it showcases Josephine gazing at a bust of her beloved son Eugene de Beauharnais at Malmaison. The oil on canvas artwork is currently housed in Musee d Art et d Histoire, Palais Massena in Nice, France. Josephine's elegant empire line dress and delicate veil add to the regal atmosphere surrounding her. In her hand rests a letter, perhaps containing news or memories that evoke emotions within her as she gazes upon the bust. The vase of hydrangeas beside her serves as an allusion to Josephine's daughter Hortense since hortensia is another name for hydrangea. As Napoleon Bonaparte's wife from 1796 until their divorce in 1810, Josephine played a significant role during his reign as Emperor. This portrait not only highlights her beauty but also hints at the complexities and emotions she experienced throughout her life. The fine details captured by Gros bring this historical figure to life once again. It allows us to glimpse into Josephine's world and witness the love and pride she held for her son Eugene de Beauharnais - a testament to both motherhood and royalty intertwined with artistry.
