EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Empress Josephine, a prominent figure in history whose life was filled with triumphs and tribulations. The illustration, taken from the book "Little Journeys to the Homes of Famous Women" published in 1897, beautifully captures her grace and elegance. Empress Josephine, born Marie Josephe Rose Tascher De La Pagerie, was not only known for her exquisite beauty but also for her significant role as Queen of France and Italy during the early 19th century. This lithograph portrays her wearing a majestic crown adorned with precious jewels and pearls that symbolize her royal status. Despite being childless and eventually divorced from Napoleon Bonaparte on December 16,1809, Empress Josephine's legacy remains indelible. Her influence extended beyond mere titles; she played an instrumental role in shaping French society during the First Empire. The artist skillfully captures both the strength and vulnerability within Empress Josephine's portrait. Her piercing gaze reflects a woman who has experienced great love and loss throughout her life. This image serves as a reminder of the complexities faced by women in positions of power during this era. Preserved within a private collection today, this lithograph offers us an intimate glimpse into the life of one of history's most fascinating figures. It is through such art prints that we can appreciate Empress Josephine's enduring impact on French history while marveling at her timeless beauty.
