EDITORS COMMENTS
In this lithograph, titled "The Evening of the Battle of Champaubert, 1814" we are transported back in time to witness a tender moment amidst the chaos of war. Napoleon Bonaparte, renowned military leader and emperor of France, finds solace by rocking the baby of a cantiniere. The scene is set in front of a crackling fireplace, providing warmth and comfort against the backdrop of battle. The weary soldier cradles the infant with gentle care, his expression revealing both exhaustion and tenderness. As he rocks the child, one can almost feel his longing for peace and normalcy amid the turmoil that surrounds him. The presence of this baby serves as a poignant reminder that even in times of conflict and hardship, life continues to flourish. It symbolizes hope for a better future beyond war's grasp. The cantiniere herself stands nearby, her tired yet determined face reflecting strength and resilience. This lithograph beautifully captures not only an intimate moment between Napoleon and this young child but also offers us insight into the human side of warfare. It reminds us that behind every soldier lies a complex individual with their own desires for love and connection. Created by Job (Jacques Onfroy de Breville) as part of "Le Grand Napoleon des Petites Enfants" in 1893, this print showcases both artistic skill and historical significance. It invites viewers to reflect on our shared humanity amidst tumultuous times while appreciating the beauty found within unexpected
