EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print of "Apotheosis of Napoleon III" takes us back to the grandeur and opulence of 19th-century France. Painted by Guillaume-Alphonse Harang Cabasson in 1854, this oil on canvas masterpiece is a true testament to the artistic skill and creativity of its creator. In this stunning artwork, we witness the apotheosis, or deification, of Napoleon III (1808-73). Crowned with a laurel wreath by Victory herself, he stands at the center of attention. Athena and Hercules flank him, symbolizing strength and wisdom as they lead majestic horses forward. As our gaze expands beyond Napoleon III's figure, we are introduced to personifications of painting, sculpture, and architecture following closely behind. These allegorical figures represent different forms of art that flourished during his reign. Justice holds her scales while standing beside a lion representing Clemency - an embodiment of fairness tempered with mercy. The imperial eagle soars above them all as a powerful symbol synonymous with French royalty. The abundance depicted in this scene is evident through Demeter's presence alongside cornucopias overflowing with plenty. The tricolore flag proudly waves in the background as Marianne watches over it all – a representation of France itself. This print captures not only the triumphs but also the essence and legacy left behind by Louis Napoleon Bonaparte during his time as Emperor. It serves as a reminder that even within fine art lies history waiting to be
