The Imperiale Crosswalk, 1815 - A Symbolic Return
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a significant moment in history - the return of Napoleon Bonaparte from his exile on the island of Elba. In this vivid depiction, we see Napoleon crossing the sea between the island and the mainland, proudly brandishing a French flag adorned with the imperial eagle and bearing the words "Honour and Fatherland". With his sword held firmly in one hand and a branch symbolizing peace in the other, he exudes both power and diplomacy. Intriguingly, several royalist figures observe Napoleon's triumphant return from afar. Their expressions reveal mixed emotions - curiosity, apprehension, perhaps even fear. Among them stands a woman who seems to be contemplating what this event means for her country. The attention to detail in this facsimile is remarkable; it faithfully reproduces an engraving from early 19th century France. The vibrant colors bring life to every element of this historic scene. Displayed at the Napoleonic Museum in Antibes, France, this print serves as a visual testament to one of history's most iconic figures. It invites us to reflect upon Napoleon's complex legacy - his military genius, political ambitions, and lasting impact on Europe. Through Leonard de Selva's lens, we are transported back in time to witness an extraordinary moment that forever changed the course of history.
