The Senate Presents Louis Napoleon Bonaparte with the Result of the Plebiscite, Proclaiming him Emperor
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a significant moment in French history as the Senate presents Louis Napoleon Bonaparte with the result of the plebiscite that proclaims him Emperor. Painted by Charles-Philippe Lariviere in 1852, this oil on canvas artwork showcases an important event that took place at Saint-Cloud on December 1st. In this scene, we see Louis Napoleon Bonaparte standing tall and proud in his military uniform, surrounded by senators who have gathered to deliver the news of his victory. The room's interior exudes grandeur and elegance, befitting such a historic occasion. The painting itself is a study for another work that unfortunately met its demise in a fire during 1871. However, this print allows us to appreciate Lariviere's skillful depiction of this pivotal moment in French politics. Louis Napoleon's rise to power marked the transition from the Second Republic to the Second Empire. This image symbolizes not only his personal triumph but also represents an era defined by political change and ambition. Displayed at Château de Versailles today, this artwork serves as a reminder of France's complex history and offers viewers a glimpse into one man's journey towards becoming Emperor.
