"Napoleon III: A Complex Legacy of Power, Art, and Controversy" Step into the Paris Salon exhibition of 1865 and witness a defining moment in art history. Amongst the crowd, one figure stands out - Napoleon III himself. His gaze fixed upon Édouard Manet's provocative masterpiece, "Olympia. " This engraving captures the Emperor's fascination with art that challenges societal norms. In another scene, we find Monsieur Prudhomme engaging in conversation with Napoleon III. The watercolor painting portrays their encounter as if frozen in time; a meeting between an ordinary citizen and a powerful ruler. A satirical cartoon by Napoleon III titled "Le nouveau Don Quixote" depicts him guarded by Marianne at Porte de Paris. This engraving by Klenck reveals his sense of humor amidst political tensions during those times. The attack on Tsar Alexander II in 1867 further exemplifies the complexities surrounding Napoleon III's reign. Berezowski's print illustrates the turbulent relationships between nations during this era. Yet amidst these tumultuous events, there were moments of triumph for Napoleon III. An engraving showcases his triumphant entry into Paris in 1852 after being elected President of France. Family bonds are also highlighted through a painting capturing Napoleon III riding horseback alongside his son Louis-Napoleon – an intimate portrayal reflecting paternal pride and leadership succession. History takes center stage when Bismarck meets with Napoleon III. Digitally restored from an original 19th-century piece, this image symbolizes diplomatic negotiations that would shape Europe's future. Napoleon III and Empress Eugenia visit Sister Rosalie's creche in 1855 – an oil-on-canvas masterpiece depicting their compassion for society's most vulnerable members. However, not all depictions were flattering to the Emperor. Mockery took form through caricatures such as "Mockery, " which revealed public sentiment towards Napoleon III during the tumultuous year of 1871.
