EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the moment of the baptism of Napoleon II, the son of the French Emperor Napoleon I, in the Chapel of the Tuileries Palace in Paris on March 20, 1811. The young prince, later known as "le Roi de Rome" or the King of Rome, was born on March 20, 1811, and was the heir to the Napoleonic throne. However, his father's eventual abdication in 1814 and subsequent exile to Elba and later to the island of Saint Helena meant that Napoleon II would never actually reign. The baptism was a grand affair, attended by the French court and various European monarchs, reflecting the power and prestige of the Napoleonic Empire at its height. The image shows the infant Napoleon II being held by his godfather, King Joseph Bonaparte, Napoleon's older brother, while the Emperor himself looks on proudly. The scene is filled with opulence, with ornate decorations adorning the chapel and the attendees dressed in their finest clothing. Despite the promise of a Napoleonic dynasty, Napoleon II's life was marked by exile and uncertainty. After his father's abdication in 1814, the young prince and his mother, Marie-Louise of Austria, were sent to live in Austria. They remained there until 1832, when Napoleon III, another son of Napoleon I, came to power in France and invited his brother and nephew to return. However, the Second French Republic was established in 1848, and the royal family was once again forced into exile. This historical photograph, taken from the Mary Evans Picture Library, provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of the Napoleonic Empire and the hopes and dreams of a dynasty that was never to be.
