EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Death Mask of Napoleon Bonaparte, an iconic piece created in 1850 by the French School. Crafted from bronze and gold, this exquisite mask is a testament to the legacy of one of history's most influential figures. The death mask was taken from a plaster mold originally made by Francesco Antommarchi, Napoleon's personal physician on St. Helena. It offers a hauntingly realistic portrayal of the Emperor's face, capturing his features with remarkable precision. The bronze edition of this mask was produced through a subscription in 1850. The base bears the inscription "Dr. F. Antommarchi; fondu par L. Richard et Quesnez à Paris" providing insight into its creation process. Adorned with laurels and a laurel wreath, symbols traditionally associated with victory and honor, this funerary artwork pays homage to Napoleon's status as an esteemed leader and emperor. As we gaze upon this portrait-like representation, we are reminded of Napoleon's significant contributions to history and his enduring impact on French society. This print is part of Bridgeman Images' collection and serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical artifact that captures the essence of Napoleon Bonaparte for generations to come.
