EDITORS COMMENTS
The Morning of the 18th Brumaire (9th November) 1799, engraved by Jean Pierre Marie Jazet, captures a pivotal moment in history. This stunning aquatint print, created by Henri-Frederic Schopin in 1851, takes us back to the heart of the French Revolution. In this image, we witness the intense atmosphere of a revolutionary calendar date. The scene depicts Napoleon Bonaparte and his loyal soldiers seizing power from the Directory government. Dressed in their striking empire-style uniforms, they exude confidence and determination. Amidst this political upheaval, we catch a glimpse of Josephine de Beauharnais standing beside her husband Napoleon. Her presence adds an intriguing layer to this historical snapshot as she would later become Empress Josephine. The attention to detail is remarkable - every figure meticulously etched with precision by Jazet. From the expressions on their faces to their body language, each element tells a story of ambition and revolution. This print not only serves as a visual documentation but also offers insight into one of history's most significant moments. It allows us to delve into the complexities of politics during that era while appreciating the artistic mastery behind its creation. As part of The Stapleton Collection housed within a private collection today, this piece continues to captivate viewers with its rich historical narrative and undeniable artistic brilliance.
