Laetitia Ramolino, Mother of Napoleon Bonaparte (1750-1836): A Regal Figure in 18th Century French Fashion This handcoloured lithograph, titled "Laetitia Ramolino, Mother of Napoleon Bonaparte," is an exquisite depiction of the woman who played a pivotal role in the life of one of history's most influential figures. The image, taken from the renowned French publication "Costumes Historiques de la France" by Le Bibliophile Jacob aka Paul Lacroix, captures Laetitia Ramolino, nee Letizia Bonaparte, in the elegant attire of the late 18th century. Born in Corsica in 1750, Letizia Ramolino was the mother of Napoleon Bonaparte, the military and political leader who rose to power during the French Revolution and became the Emperor of the French. This lithograph showcases Letizia's regal presence, clad in an ornate robe à la Française, a fashionable style popular during the late 1700s. The voluminous skirt, adorned with intricate floral patterns, is supported by a petticoat and a pair of high-heeled shoes. Her bodice, featuring a low neckline and a fitted waist, is adorned with delicate lace and ribbons. Letizia's elegant appearance is further accentuated by her coiffure, which consists of a high, pomaded hairstyle, adorned with a large, feathered hat. Her expressive eyes and serene expression convey a sense of strength and grace, reflecting the inner qualities that shaped her son's destiny. As the mother of one of history's most celebrated figures, Laetitia Ramolino's life and influence have long been a subject of fascination. This beautiful handcoloured lithograph offers a captivating glimpse into the world of 18th century French fashion and the extraordinary woman who raised a revolutionary leader.
