EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking portrait captures Jerome Bonaparte (1784-1860), the youngest brother of the legendary Napoleon I, in the 1850s. Jerome's life was marked by close ties to his famous sibling, yet he forged a distinct path in European history. As the sometime King of Westphalia from 1807 to 1813, Jerome ruled a territory in present-day Germany. His reign was marked by military campaigns, diplomatic efforts, and social reforms. Jerome's tenure as king ended with the defeat of Napoleon at the Battle of Leipzig in 1813, leading to his exile in Italy. However, Jerome's fortunes changed when he returned to France following his brother's abdication in 1814. He was reinstated as a marshal of France and served in various diplomatic roles. In 1848, Jerome was appointed as a senator, further cementing his place in French politics. Despite his military and political accomplishments, Jerome's life was overshadowed by his association with Napoleon. He fought bravely at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815, but was ultimately unable to prevent the fall of his brother's empire. This portrait, taken in the later years of Jerome's life, showcases his regal bearing and the wisdom that came with his experiences. It serves as a poignant reminder of a complex and intriguing figure in European history.
