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 Vernet’s imagery played a crucial role in shaping the posthumous legend of Napoleon, blending historical reference with idealized representation.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...

Napoleonic General of Division on Horseback, Bellangé, French Military Print 1843 This finely hand-coloured military print depicts a General of Division of the Napoleonic army, shown on horseback and accompanied by his aide-de-camp, identified in the caption as “Général de division et son aide-de-camp, 1812.” The scene captures the commanding presence and ceremonial splendour of a senior French officer during the height of Napoleon I’s imperial campaigns, with particular reference to the period of the Russian campaign and the later years of the Empire. The general is portrayed mounted on a white horse, wearing a richly decorated dark blue uniform with gold epaulettes, sash, and orders, emphasizing his high rank within the Grande Armée. The aide-de-camp follows closely behind, reinforcing the hierarchical structure and operational discipline of Napoleonic command. The careful rendering of uniforms, horse trappings, and regalia reflects the period’s obsession with military distinction and visual authority, making this image both a historical document and a work of refined military art. This print originates from the illustrated volume “Histoire de l’Empereur Napoléon” by P.-M. Laurent de l’Ardèche, published in Paris in 1843 and illustrated after designs by Hippolyte (Horace) Bellangé, one of the most important 19th-century French military art...
