Napoleon, c19th century. Artist: Horace Vernet
Napoleon, c19th century. Napoleon Bonaparte, French general and Emperor. (1769-1821) enjoyed a meteoric rise through the ranks of the French Revolutionary army. In 1799 he led a coup to overthrow the government, the Directory, and became first consul and effective dictator of France. In 1804, he declared himself Emperor, and began a series of military campaigns across Europe, the Napoleonic Wars. Victories such as Austerlitz and Jena led to France establishing its power across much of the continent. In 1812, however, Napoleon embarked on a disastrous invasion of Russia and defeat at Leipzig in 1813 led to his abdication and exile to Elba. He ecaped in 1815, raised another army, but was finally defeated by Wellington at Waterloo, and exiled again to St Helena. From The Studio Volume 14 by Ralph Nevill.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic figure of Napoleon Bonaparte, a prominent French general and Emperor during the 19th century. Painted by Horace Vernet, this portrait captures the essence of Napoleon's commanding presence and his meteoric rise to power. Born in 1769, he swiftly ascended through the ranks of the French Revolutionary army before leading a coup in 1799 to overthrow the government. After becoming first consul and effective dictator of France, Napoleon declared himself Emperor in 1804. He embarked on a series of military campaigns across Europe known as the Napoleonic Wars, achieving remarkable victories such as Austerlitz and Jena that solidified France's dominance over much of the continent. However, his ambitious invasion of Russia in 1812 proved disastrous, leading to defeat at Leipzig in 1813. This ultimately resulted in his abdication and exile to Elba. Undeterred, he escaped in 1815 and raised another army but was finally defeated by Wellington at Waterloo. Subsequently exiled again, this time to St Helena where he spent his final years until his death in 1821. The sepia-toned image portrays Napoleon with an air of authority and determination while wearing regal attire befitting an emperor. His piercing gaze looks away from us into history itself—a reminder of his indelible impact on European politics and warfare. This vintage print from The Studio Volume 14 offers a glimpse into one man's extraordinary journey through revolution, conquests, triumphs, and ultimate downfall—an enduring testament to both his ambition and resilience.
