EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the transfer of Napoleon's ashes on board the frigate La Belle Poule on October 15,1840. The painting, created by Louis Gabriel Eugene Isabey in 1843, is housed in the prestigious Musee de l'Histoire de France at Chateau de Versailles. The image depicts the solemn occasion when Napoleon Bonaparte's remains were transported from Saint Helena Island in the South Atlantic Ocean to their final resting place. As Emperor Napoleon I had been held captive on this remote island since his defeat and exile following the Battle of Waterloo. The artwork showcases Isabey's mastery of oil on canvas technique, capturing every detail with precision and emotion. It beautifully conveys both the historical significance and romanticism associated with this event. Viewing this piece evokes a sense of reverence for one of history's most iconic figures. It serves as a poignant reminder of Napoleon's enduring legacy and his impact on French history. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are transported back to that fateful day when La Belle Poule set sail carrying not only Napoleon's remains but also a nation's collective memory and admiration for their fallen leader.
