1769 1821 Coronation Napoleon Philippoteaux Robes
EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 19th-century print depicts Napoleon Bonaparte, the legendary Emperor of the French, resplendent in his coronation robes. The image, painted by the renowned French artist Jean-Baptiste Regnault and masterfully reproduced by the skilled hands of Philippe-Jacques-Louis Dumas after the original work by Jean-Baptiste-Joseph-Louis Philippeoteaux, offers a captivating glimpse into the opulence and grandeur of Napoleon's reign. Napoleon's coronation took place on December 2, 1804, in the grand Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris. The ceremony solidified his position as the undisputed ruler of the First French Empire, which spanned much of Europe at the time. The Emperor is shown here wearing the imperial mantle and crown, adorned with precious stones and gold, symbolizing his divine right to rule. The intricate design of the coronation robes reflects the rich history and cultural influences of the time. The red velvet fabric, trimmed with ermine fur and gold braid, is a nod to the royal traditions of France. The gold embroidery and the fleur-de-lis motif, a symbol of the French monarchy, further emphasize the imperial power and prestige of Napoleon. This historical print not only serves as a testament to the artistic and cultural achievements of the Napoleonic era but also offers a fascinating glimpse into the life and legacy of one of the most influential figures in European history. The meticulous attention to detail and the exquisite use of color in the print bring the grandeur and majesty of Napoleon's coronation to life, making it a must-have for any history or art enthusiast.
