EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in time - a sketch depicting Napoleon I and the sovereigns at a grand ball held by the city of Paris on December 4th, 1809. The image showcases an impressive gathering of male and female figures, seated and standing together in an opulent interior setting. Amongst the distinguished guests are Joachim Murat, King of Naples; Frederick Augustus I, King of Saxony; Jerome Bonaparte, King of Westphalia; Frederick I, King of Wurttemberg; Louis Bonaparte, King of Holland; Marie Laetitia Ramolino (also known as Madame Mère), mother of Napoleon; Marie Julie Clary, Queen Consort of Spain and later Queen of Holland; Maria Carolina Bonaparte, Queen consort of Naples; Marie Caroline, Queen consort of Westphalia; Catherine Frederique (Marie Pauline Bonaparte), Princess Borghese. The sketch also provides insight into the physical appearances and relationships within this influential group. It portrays some individuals as overweight or obese while others exude regal elegance. This snapshot offers a glimpse into the world that surrounded Napoleon during his reign as Emperor. Preserved by Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, this engraving by Adrien Pierre Francois Godefroy serves as both historical documentation and artistic representation. As we gaze upon this image from over two centuries ago, we can't help but marvel at the power dynamics and intricate connections that existed amongst these prominent figures in European history.
