EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the shipment of Napoleon's ashes aboard the Belle-Poule at Saint Helena. Painted by Louis Eugene Gabriel Isabey, this oil on canvas artwork showcases the solemn event that took place on 15th October 1840. The immense size of the painting, measuring 238x369 cm, allows viewers to immerse themselves in the scene. The composition is filled with rich details and emotions as we witness the transbordement des cendres de Napoleon (the transfer of Napoleon's ashes). Intriguingly, we see a coffin being carefully hoisted onto the ship while oarsmen prepare for their journey. This poignant image symbolizes both mourning and reverence for one of history's most iconic figures - Napoleon Bonaparte. Napoleon Bonaparte, who lived from 1769 to 1821, was exhumed from his original burial site on St. Helena before being transported back to France. The Chateau de Versailles now houses this remarkable piece of art that immortalizes this historic event. Isabey masterfully captures not only the physicality but also the weighty significance surrounding this momentous occasion. As we gaze upon this painting, we are reminded of Napoleon's enduring legacy and his impact on European history. Through its meticulous attention to detail and emotional depth, Isabey's artwork invites us to reflect upon our own mortality and contemplate how even great leaders eventually become part of history
