EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a study of Madame Bonaparte, also known as Josephine Tascher de la Pagerie, the wife of Napoleon Bonaparte. Created by Mathieu Ignace van Bree in 1803, this red chalk drawing measures 16.5x6.7 cm and is currently housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris. The study was made for the painting "Entry of Bonaparte, First Consul, into Antwerp on 18th July 1803" highlighting an important moment during Napoleon's reign. This intimate portrait captures Madame Bonaparte's profile with remarkable detail and elegance. Van Bree's work is part of a series of 119 portraits depicting influential figures from that era. The artist skillfully portrays Madame Bonaparte's beauty and grace through his delicate strokes and attention to facial features. Josephine Tascher de la Pagerie married Napoleon in 1796 and played a significant role as Empress during his reign as Emperor from 1804 onwards. Her influence on French society cannot be understated, making her an intriguing subject for artists like Van Bree. As we admire this exquisite drawing, we are transported back to a time when power dynamics were shifting rapidly in Europe. It serves as a testament to both the artistic talent of Mathieu Ignace van Bree and the enduring allure of one of history's most fascinating women – Madame Bonaparte herself.
