EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a double-edged sword, both symbolically and literally. Depicting a general-in-command during the coup d'état at Saint Cloud on 18 brumaire an 8 (9 November 1799), this artwork by Nicolas Noel Boutet showcases the intricate craftsmanship of a metal masterpiece. The ornate details adorning the hilt and blade reflect the opulence and power associated with military leadership. The decorative elements serve as reminders of the grandeur that often accompanies those in command, while also hinting at the potential dangers they face. Just like a double-edged sword, their authority can be both empowering and perilous. At its core, this image represents Napoleon Bonaparte's rise to power during one of history's most significant moments. As he brandished his weapon with confidence and determination, he became synonymous with strength and ambition. The gallus cockerel perched atop the hilt further emphasizes France's national pride and identity. Displayed in Musee Lambinet in Versailles, France, this artwork continues to captivate viewers with its historical significance. It serves as a reminder that leadership comes with great responsibility – it is indeed a double-edged sword.
