The Affectionate Farewell - A Satirical Depiction of Napoleon's Downfall
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the essence of a historical moment that forever changed the course of European history. Published on April 17,1814, by R. Ackermann, this colored engraving titled "The Affectionate Farewell or, Kick for Kick" showcases the artistic brilliance of Thomas Rowlandson. At its center stage is Charles Maurice de Talleyrand-Perigord delivering a symbolic kick to none other than Napoleon Bonaparte himself. The image portrays Talleyrand's role in orchestrating Napoleon's exile to Elba with a clever touch of satire and caricature. With his walking stick raised high in attack, Talleyrand embodies the collective sentiment against the French Emperor. The scene is set against a backdrop adorned with signposts pointing towards Elba—a subtle reminder of where Napoleon would be banished to after his defeat. This satirical masterpiece not only reflects public opinion but also serves as an enduring symbol of resistance against tyranny. Housed at Musee Carnavalet in Paris, France, this engraving from eArchives Charmet offers us a glimpse into an era marked by political upheaval and power struggles. Its intricate details and vivid colors transport us back to that fateful day when Talleyrand bid adieu affectueux (affectionate farewell) to one of history's most influential figures. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded that even
