EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic "Portrait of Napoleon I" created between 1808-11 by Francois Pascal Simon Gerard. The artwork, measuring an impressive 222.3x192.4 cm, is housed in the prestigious Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Commissioned after his coronation in 1804, this woven copy of Napoleon's favorite portrait depicts him seated majestically in the Throne Room of the Tuileries Palace. As a French statesman and military leader during the French Revolution and Revolutionary Wars, Napoleon Bonaparte left an indelible mark on history. The tapestry itself was meticulously crafted with wool, silk, and silver-gilt thread by the renowned Manufacture Nationale des Gobelins under Michel Henri Cozette's workshop. It exudes regality and grandeur as it captures every intricate detail of Napoleon's attire – from his ceremonial robes adorned with ermine to his imperial orb and scepter. Napoleon is depicted wearing a laurel wreath atop his head, symbolizing victory and power reminiscent of Charlemagne. This portrait radiates authority as he sits upon a magnificent throne surrounded by opulence fit for an emperor. As you gaze at this remarkable piece of art captured beautifully through Bridgeman Images' lens, immerse yourself in the rich history that unfolds before your eyes – a testament to one man's rise to greatness amidst turbulent times.
