EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "L Empereur tres indispose" showcases a colour lithograph by Louis Charles Bombled, depicting the sickly state of Emperor Napoleon I. The artwork is part of a private collection and was created as an illustration for "Le Memorial de Saint-Helene" by Le Comte De Las Cases, with pictures beautifully rendered by L Bombled in 1895. In this striking image, we see the emperor wrapped in a shirt, visibly unwell and suffering from illness. His face reflects his discomfort as he battles through a feverish cold. Despite his weakened state, Napoleon Bonaparte's indomitable spirit shines through. The scene is set against the backdrop of a flickering fire that casts an eerie glow on the room. This juxtaposition symbolizes both warmth and vulnerability; while the fire provides physical comfort, it also serves as a reminder of Napoleon's fragile health. Bombled's meticulous attention to detail brings this historical moment to life, capturing not only the physicality but also the emotional turmoil experienced by one of history's most iconic figures. Through this artwork, viewers are transported back in time to witness firsthand the struggles faced by Emperor Napoleon during his confinement on Saint Helena Island. This remarkable print from Bridgeman Images offers us a glimpse into history and invites contemplation on themes such as power, mortality, and resilience.
