EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history as Napoleon Bonaparte, the renowned French Emperor, makes his return from exile on the island of Elba. The image depicts an intense scene where Napoleon's battalion finds themselves momentarily blocked on the road at Grenoble. The color lithograph, created by Job (pseudonym for Jacques Marie Gaston Onfroy de Breville), beautifully brings to life this significant event. Napoleon's unmistakable presence is highlighted by his iconic moustache and commanding stature. As he stands amidst his loyal soldiers, one can almost feel the tension and anticipation in the air. This historical snapshot transports us back to a time when France was deeply divided, with some eagerly embracing their emperor's return while others plotted against him. The composition skillfully portrays both the grandeur of Napoleon and the ruggedness of the road ahead. It serves as a reminder that even great leaders face obstacles along their journey towards power and influence. With Grenoble serving as a symbolic crossroads between past triumphs and uncertain futures, this image encapsulates not only Napoleon's personal struggle but also France's tumultuous history. Published in 1921 as an illustration for Georges Montorgueil's book "Napoleon" this lithograph offers viewers a glimpse into one of history's most fascinating figures during a defining moment in his life. Through its vivid colors and attention to detail, it invites us to reflect upon the complexities of leadership, ambition, and destiny that shaped both Napoleon
