EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment when Joachim Murat, the King of Naples, fled from his palace on a fateful night in May 1815. Defeated by the Austrians, Murat made a daring escape to return to his homeland of France. The engraving, skillfully created by Jacques Marie Gaston Onfray de Breville dit Job in 1910, beautifully depicts this pivotal event in history. The image showcases the grandeur and opulence of Murat's palace as he hastily departs under cover of darkness. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke, capturing both the architectural beauty and human drama within this scene. One can almost feel the tension and urgency as Murat flees with his loyal followers, leaving behind a life of power and privilege. Murat's flight symbolizes not only his personal defeat but also reflects broader historical events unfolding during that time period. It serves as a reminder that even kings are not immune to adversity and must sometimes make difficult choices for their survival. This remarkable print is part of a private collection attributed to Job (Onfray de Breville), an accomplished pseudonymous artist known for his exceptional engravings. Its inclusion in Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate both its artistic merit and its significance within European history.
