EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - "The Abdication of Napoleon and his Departure from Fontainebleau for the Island of Elba". Engraved by Francois Pigeot, this aquatint showcases the emotional farewell scene that took place on 20 April 1814. In the image, we see Napoleon bidding adieu to his empire as he prepares to embark on his exile to the Island of Elba. The grandeur of Fontainebleau Palace serves as a backdrop, emphasizing the magnitude of this event. Soldiers stand solemnly in formation while some weep openly, their loyalty evident even in these trying times. Napoleon himself stands at attention, surrounded by his faithful soldiers who have fought alongside him throughout his reign. As he clasps hands with one soldier and kisses the French flag tenderly held out to him by another, it becomes clear that this is not just an ordinary departure; it is a poignant moment filled with mixed emotions. The courtyard buzzes with activity as soldiers bid farewell to their beloved emperor. The atmosphere is heavy with sorrow and uncertainty about what lies ahead for both Napoleon and France itself. This remarkable photograph from Bridgeman Images allows us to witness history unfolding before our eyes - capturing not only the physical departure but also conveying the deep sense of loss felt by all those present on that fateful day.
