EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history as Napoleon Bonaparte stands on the gangway of HMS Bellerophon after reaching Plymouth Sound in August 1815. Engraved by Charles Turner, this lithograph beautifully portrays the French Emperor in all his glory and vulnerability. Dressed in his military uniform and iconic bicorne hat, Napoleon's full-length portrait exudes power and authority despite being defeated. The composition highlights his stature as he confidently stands on deck, ready to face an uncertain future. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the emperor's ultimate downfall and exile on the remote island of St. Helena. As we gaze upon this print, we can almost feel the weight of defeat that hangs heavy around him. Charles Lock Eastlake skillfully captures both the physical presence and emotional turmoil experienced by Napoleon during this pivotal moment in his life. This private collection piece is a testament to Eastlake's talent for immortalizing historical figures through art. As we reflect upon this photograph, it is impossible not to be moved by its narrative - a once mighty ruler now reduced to exile; a symbol of ambition tempered by fate. It serves as a timeless reminder that even those who shape history are not immune to its whimsical turns.
