EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: Lucien Bonaparte, Prince of Canino and Musignano: The Younger Brother of Napoleon 2. Description: This handcoloured lithograph showcases Lucien Bonaparte, the younger brother of the legendary Napoleon Bonaparte. Born in 1775, Lucien was an integral part of the Bonaparte family, sharing a strong bond with his older brother. This image, created by Legenissel for Le Bibliophile Jacob's "Costumes Historiques de la France," provides a striking visual representation of Lucien's regal appearance during his tenure as Prince of Canino and Musignano. 3. Background: Lucien Bonaparte began his political career as a consul in the Napoleonic Empire, serving in various capacities. In 1805, he was appointed as the French ambassador to the Holy See. After Napoleon's abdication in 1814, Lucien sought refuge in the United States. In 1817, he was granted the principality of Canino and Musignano by the Pope, and he ruled there until his death in 1840. 4. Attire: In this image, Lucien is depicted wearing the formal attire of a European prince. He dons a richly decorated coat, adorned with gold buttons and intricate embroidery. A white cravat complements the dark jacket, while a sash draped over his left shoulder adds a touch of elegance. The prince's regal posture and piercing gaze exude confidence and authority. 5. Significance: This lithograph offers a glimpse into the life of Lucien Bonaparte, a significant yet often overlooked figure in the Bonaparte family. It highlights his status as a prince and underscores the rich history and intrigue of the European nobility during the 19th century. The meticulous handcolouring adds a layer of depth and authenticity to the image, making it a valuable historical document and an aesthetically pleasing work of art.
