Napoleon I Emperor of France, 1804. Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821) enjoyed a meteoric rise through the ranks of the French Revolutionary army.

In 1804, he declared himself Emperor, and embarked on a series of military campaigns across Europe, the Napoleonic Wars. Victories such as Austerlitz and Jena led to France establishing its power across much of the continent. In 1812, however, Napoleon embarked on a disastrous invasion of Russia and defeat at Leipzig in 1813 led to his abdication and exile to Elba. He ecaped in 1815, raised another army, but was finally defeated by Wellington at Waterloo, and exiled again to St Helena. From the Musee National, Chateau de Versailles

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Napoleon I, Emperor of France in 1804. The artist behind this masterpiece is Francois Pascal Simon Gerard, who beautifully captured the essence of this iconic figure. Napoleon Bonaparte's life was marked by an extraordinary journey from a young Corsican soldier to becoming the powerful Emperor of France. His rise to power began with a coup against the government in 1799, leading him to become the first consul and de facto dictator of France. In 1804, he declared himself Emperor and embarked on a series of military campaigns across Europe known as the Napoleonic Wars. The image portrays Napoleon wearing opulent robes adorned with intricate embroidery and fur trimmings, symbolizing his authority and imperial status. He holds a sceptre and orb, further emphasizing his position as ruler. The rich velvet fabric adds to the regal atmosphere surrounding him. Despite his numerous victories such as Austerlitz and Jena that expanded French power across much of Europe, Napoleon faced setbacks like his disastrous invasion of Russia in 1812. Defeat at Leipzig led to his abdication and subsequent exile to Elba. However, he managed to escape in 1815 only to be defeated once again at Waterloo by Wellington before being exiled for good on St Helena. This print captures both the grandeur and complexity of one of history's most influential figures - Napoleon Bonaparte I - forever leaving an indelible mark on European history through his military prowess and political ambitions.
