About the Item

Napoleon Shows Mercy to Princess Hatzfeld, 1806 - Emotional Historical Engraving This striking 19th-century engraving portrays the poignant scene of Princess Hatzfeld imploring Napoleon Bonaparte to save her husband's life. The engraving is based on an original drawing by Charles Boulanger de Boisfremont. The dramatic moment, set in October 1806, shows the pregnant princess on her knees before the Emperor, seeking mercy for her husband, Prince Hatzfeld, who had been accused of treason. Napoleon, touched by her plea, ultimately grants her request, demonstrating his capacity for compassion. The composition captures the tense emotion of the scene, with the Princess in an elegant gown, Napoleon standing in an authoritative yet considerate pose, and a military officer observing discreetly in the background. The intricate detailing of the setting, including the richly adorned room and the dynamic poses of the figures, brings the historical narrative vividly to life. Artist: Charles Boulanger de Boisfremont (after) Title: Napoléon accorde à la princesse de Hatzfeld la grâce de son mari Date: 19th century Technique: Engraving Condition: The print is in very good condition, with crisp lines and preserved contrast. The paper shows minor age-related toning, which is typical for a print of this age but does not detract from the image's quality or impact. The scene's emotional depth is well conveyed through the engraving's delicate details. Why this print is attractive: This print offers a dramatic depiction of a significant historical event during the First Empire, illustrating Napoleon's rare act of clemency. The emotional intensity of Princess Hatzfeld pleading for her husband's life makes this engraving a compelling and evocative piece. It is a beautiful representation of the human side of history, making it an ideal addition for collectors interested in Napoleonic history, royal narratives, or emotionally charged historical artwork. The detail and craftsmanship of this engraving ensure its place as a captivating and meaningful work of art.
