EDITORS COMMENTS
In this intriguing image from circa 1805, Napoleon Bonaparte, the legendary military and political leader, is depicted in a rare moment of reprieve as he consults the celebrated fortune-teller, Madame Lenormand. The scene unfolds in an intimate setting, with the pair huddled around a small table adorned with a map and various mystical objects. Madame Lenormand, with her piercing gaze and enigmatic smile, holds a set of cards in her hand, ready to reveal the secrets of the future. Napoleon, known for his ambition, strategic mind, and insatiable thirst for power, sought guidance from the renowned fortune-teller as he navigated the complex political landscape of Europe. The accuracy of Madame Lenormand's predictions is a subject of much debate among historians, but it is clear that the encounter held great significance for the emperor. This print offers a glimpse into the personal side of Napoleon, revealing a side that was often hidden from the public. It also underscores the role of divination and the supernatural in shaping the decisions of powerful leaders throughout history. The date of 1805 places this encounter at a pivotal moment in Napoleon's career, as he prepared for the disastrous Battle of Austerlitz, which would cement his status as a military genius and secure his dominance over Europe for years to come.
