The Young Napoleon Leaves Corsica to Study on the Continent, 13th December 1778
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a significant moment in history as it depicts the young Napoleon Bonaparte bidding farewell to his homeland of Corsica. The year is 1778, and a determined teenage Napoleon stands at the quayside, ready to embark on a new chapter of his life. The image showcases a bustling harbor scene with fishing boats dotting the water's surface. In the foreground, we see a small dinghy carrying Napoleon away from his family and friends towards an awaiting ship. As he waves goodbye, one can sense both excitement and trepidation in his youthful gaze. Napoleon's departure signifies not only a personal journey but also symbolizes ambition and aspirations for greatness. Leaving behind familiar shores, he sets sail for mainland Europe to pursue education and broaden his horizons. Little did anyone know that this young man would go on to become one of history's most influential figures. The artist beautifully captures the emotions surrounding this pivotal moment in Napoleon's life through vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail. This color lithograph by Job (Onfray de Breville) was originally published in G. Montorgueil's book "Bonaparte" in 1910. As we gaze upon this remarkable image today, we are reminded of how even great leaders begin their journeys as ordinary individuals filled with dreams and ambitions.
