EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a rare moment of vulnerability in the life of one of history's most iconic figures, Napoleon Bonaparte. Titled "Napoleon dormant pendant la bataille" (Napoleon sleeping during battle), this colour lithograph by Louis Charles Bombled offers a glimpse into the private world of the emperor. In this image, we see Napoleon peacefully asleep amidst the chaos and turmoil of battle. His regal uniform contrasts with his relaxed posture, as he rests unaware of the confrontation surrounding him. The artist skillfully portrays both power and fragility in this intimate portrayal. The artwork was created as an illustration for Le Memorial de Saint-Helene, a book written by Emmanuel de Las Cases about Napoleon's exile on the island of Saint Helena. Illustrated by L Bombled and published in 1895 by Garnier, it provides a unique visual narrative to accompany De Las Cases' words. This particular print is part of a private collection and showcases Bridgeman Images' commitment to preserving historical art pieces. It serves as a reminder that even great leaders like Napoleon had moments of vulnerability and respite amidst their conquests. With its rich colors and attention to detail, this lithograph invites viewers to contemplate not only the man behind the legend but also our own humanity within moments of rest amidst life's battles.
