The Civil Marriage of Napoleon and Josephine, 9 March 1796
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving takes us back to a significant moment in history - the civil marriage of Napoleon Bonaparte and Josephine de Beauharnais. The image beautifully captures the essence of this historic event, showcasing the bridegroom, Napoleon himself, standing tall and confident beside his radiant bride, Josephine. The artist Eric Pape has skillfully depicted the couple in intricate detail, highlighting their regal attire and elegant demeanor. As we gaze upon this monochrome print, we are transported to 18th century France where love intertwines with politics. Napoleon Bonaparte's rise as Emperor of France is well-documented throughout history. However, it is often overlooked that behind every great man stands an equally remarkable woman. Empress Josephine played a pivotal role in shaping Napoleon's destiny. In this engraving by Eric Pape from "Life of Napoleon Bonaparte" by William Milligan Sloane, we witness not only a union between two individuals but also a merging of nations as Corsica meets mainland France. The significance of this marriage extends far beyond personal happiness; it symbolizes unity for both country and empire. As we admire this historical artifact captured over a century ago, let us remember that love knows no boundaries - be they political or geographical.
