EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a study of Bonaparte (1769-1821), the renowned First Consul, as he prepares for his grand entrance into Antwerp on July 18th, 1803. Created by Mathieu Ignace van Bree (1773-1839) using red chalk on paper, this masterpiece measures 10.2x6 cm and is currently housed in the prestigious Louvre museum in Paris, France. The artwork serves as a preliminary sketch for the painting GIR 70358 and is part of an impressive series of 119 portraits. In this particular depiction, Bonaparte's profile takes center stage, highlighting his strong and commanding presence. Dressed in a striking uniform befitting his role as a general during the consulate period from 1799 to 1804, it foreshadows his subsequent rise to become Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte in 1804. With intricate details meticulously captured through van Bree's skilled hand, this drawing offers viewers an intimate glimpse into the iconic figure that shaped European history. The artist brilliantly captures both the determination etched onto Bonaparte's face and the aura of power surrounding him. As we admire this remarkable piece from Fine Art Finder's collection without commercial intent or mention thereof, let us appreciate its historical significance and marvel at how art can immortalize great leaders like Napoleon Bonaparte for generations to come.
