EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait captures the innocence and youth of the King of Rome, also known as Napoleon II. Painted by Eugene Isabey in March 1811, this artwork showcases the newborn son of Emperor Napoleon I, who would later become Duke of Reichstadt. The young prince is depicted wearing a helmet associated with Mars, the Roman god of war. The artist's choice to portray such a powerful symbol on an infant emphasizes the grandeur and legacy that awaited this child. Despite his tender age, he was already destined for greatness as heir to one of history's most influential figures. The use of black stone and beige lava paper adds depth and texture to the composition, enhancing its artistic appeal. This unique combination creates a striking contrast against which the delicate features of the baby's face stand out. Displayed at Malmaison Museum in Rueil-Malmaison, France, this masterpiece offers viewers a glimpse into both historical significance and artistic brilliance. It serves as a reminder not only of Napoleon II's short-lived life but also highlights his place within European history during the early 19th century. This photograph beautifully captures Isabey’s original painting with remarkable clarity and detail. It allows us to appreciate both its aesthetic qualities and its historical importance for generations to come.
