EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving captures a historic moment in time - the meeting between two powerful leaders, Napoleon I and Alexander I, at Tilsit on 25 June 1807. The image depicts a significant event during the Napoleonic Wars when the Grande Armée emerged victorious over the Russian Army at Friedland, effectively concluding the Polish Campaign. After an armistice was signed on 20 June, Tsar Alexander I and Emperor Napoleon I came together to negotiate peace. On 7 July 1807, in the small town of Tilsit, they finalized their discussions by signing a peace treaty that would shape European politics for years to come. In this print, we witness both leaders engaged in intense talks. Their body language suggests mutual respect as they shake hands in agreement. The atmosphere is charged with political significance as these two influential figures discuss matters of war and diplomacy. The artwork not only showcases historical importance but also highlights key aspects of leadership and power dynamics. It symbolizes a pivotal moment where military might meets diplomatic finesse. Preserved within Musee de la Ville de Paris, Musee Carnavalet in Paris, France; this engraving serves as a reminder of how history can be captured through art. It invites us to reflect upon the complexities of international relations while appreciating the artistic skill employed by French School artists from the 19th century who created this masterpiece.
