Introducing an exquisite bronze limited edition sculpture that pays homage to the commanding martial giant, Napoleon Bonaparte (15 August 1769 – 5 May 1821). Napoleon I, known as Emperor of the French from 1804 to 1815, left an indelible mark on history. His influence extended beyond his military prowess, as his legal reconstruction, the Napoleonic code, had a profound impact on civil law systems worldwide. However, it is his role as a military strategist, leading the renowned Napoleonic Wars and seeking to spread revolutionary ideals, for which he is best remembered.
This remarkable sculpture captures the essence of Napoleon with an unwavering gaze, standing resolutely with a sense of pride. It symbolizes the pinnacle of his fortunes, despite ultimately meeting defeat at the Battle of Waterloo in June of 1815. The sculpture is a testament to his enduring legacy, highlighting his grand presence and the imprint he left on the world stage.
Crafted using the archaic method of lost-wax casting, the sculpture exemplifies the meticulous attention to detail and artistic finesse. It is adorned with a brown patina finish, ensuring its preservation and adding a timeless appeal. The sculpture bears the signature and a numbered edition by the esteemed artist Carpeaux, further attesting to its authenticity and value.
This bronze limited edition sculpture is a tribute to Napoleon Bonaparte's significant impact on history, both as a military strategist and as a harbinger of legal reforms. Whether displayed in a private collection or showcased as a statement piece, it serves as a compelling reminder of Napoleon's enduring legacy and his role in shaping the course of Europe and the world.
