EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness a poignant moment in history as Napoleon Bonaparte announces to Josephine de Beauharnais the scheduled day for signing their divorce papers. The year is 1809, and the couple finds themselves at a crossroads in their tumultuous relationship. The image captures the essence of sadness and human emotion as Josephine's face reflects her deep sorrow. Her eyes glisten with tears, conveying the heart-wrenching reality of their impending separation. Meanwhile, Napoleon stands before her, his countenance revealing a mix of determination and resignation. This historic event took place during a long family interview where both parties finally agreed to end their marriage definitively on November 30th. Adolphe Thiers' "Histoire de l'empire faisant suite à l'histoire du consulat" serves as the source for this significant moment frozen in time. The engraving adds an air of nostalgia to the scene, transporting us back to an era when monarchy reigned supreme in France. It reminds us that even those who hold great power are not immune to personal struggles and heartache. As we gaze upon this print from Stefano Bianchetti's private collection, we can't help but be captivated by its historical significance and emotional depth. It serves as a reminder that behind every grand empire lies stories of love lost and hearts broken – even for figures like Napoleon Bonaparte and Josephine de Beauharnais.
