Artwork Description

Paul Delaroche’s poignant 1840 masterpiece "Napoléon à Fontainebleau, 31 mars 1814" captures the shattered Emperor Napoleon I in the dramatic hours following the fall of Paris, slumped in exhaustion and despair on a gilded chair at the Palais de Fontainebleau on 31 March 1814, just days before his first abdication. Dressed in his familiar grey campaign overcoat and white uniform, the once-invincible conqueror stares into the void, his face marked by profound weariness and the crushing weight of defeat. The rich crimson drapery and luxurious setting contrast starkly with Napoleon’s broken posture, creating one of the most psychologically powerful images of the fallen emperor ever painted.

Commanding presence in a study, executive office, or history-themed room; an intense and moving gift for admirers of Napoleonic history, military biography, or 19th-century French Romantic painting.
