Napoleonic Carabinier 1805, Imperial Guard Heavy Cavalry Print, 1843
Located in Langweer, NL
Napoleonic Carabinier 1805, Imperial Guard Heavy Cavalry Print Description: This original hand-coloured 19th-century engraving depicts a Carabinier of the French heavy cavalry during the Napoleonic Wars, dated 1805, at the height of Napoleon Bonaparte’s imperial power. Shown standing beside his horse in full service uniform, the figure represents one of the most elite and physically imposing cavalry units of the Grande Armée. The tall bearskin headdress, red epaulettes, long sword, and carefully detailed equipment emphasize the prestige and battlefield authority of the Carabiniers. The Carabiniers were renowned for their strength, discipline, and shock tactics, serving as heavy cavalry alongside the cuirassiers during Napoleon’s major campaigns, including Austerlitz. Unlike lighter cavalry units, they were intended to break enemy lines through sheer force and momentum, a role reflected in the solid stance of the soldier and the powerful build of the horse. The composition balances military precision with quiet authority, reinforcing the elite status of this corps within Napoleon’s army. This print originates from *Histoire de l’Empereur Napoléon* by P.-M. Laurent de l’Ardèche, published in Paris in 1843, with illustrations after designs by Horace Vernet. Vernet was the foremost military art...

Napoleon Bonaparte on Horseback, L’Empereur – French Hand-Colored Print, 1843
Located in Langweer, NL
Napoleon Bonaparte on Horseback, L’Empereur – French Hand-Colored Print, 1843 This striking 19th-century hand-colored print depicts Napoleon Bonaparte in one of his most enduring and carefully constructed visual roles: the calm, commanding emperor on horseback. Shown mounted on a poised grey horse, Napoleon is rendered in his characteristic attire—dark coat, bicorne hat, and the red sash of the Legion of Honour—projecting authority, discipline, and control. His composed posture contrasts with the dynamic movement of the horse, a visual device frequently used in Napoleonic imagery to suggest mastery over both men and circumstance. Behind him, attendants and officers follow at a respectful distance, reinforcing his position as supreme commander. The sparse landscape keeps the focus firmly on Napoleon himself, turning the scene into a timeless emblem rather than a specific battlefield episode. The caption beneath the image, “L’Empereur,” leaves no ambiguity about the subject and reflects the iconic status Napoleon held in French visual culture long after his fall. This print originates from *Histoire de l’Empereur Napoléon* by P.-M. Laurent de l’Ardèche, published in Paris in 1843 and illustrated after designs by Horace Vernet, the most influential Napoleonic painter of the 19th century. Vernet’s imagery played a crucial role in shaping the posthumous legend of Napoleon, blending historical reference with idealized representation. Such prints were intended both as historical illustrations and as objects of admiration, suitable for framing in bourgeois and official interiors. As an equestrian portrait, this work belongs to a long artistic tradition associated with power, leadership, and imperial legitimacy. It remains highly appealing to collectors of Napoleonic history, French military art...
