EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the baptism of Napoleon Bonaparte. The unknown artist beautifully depicts this sacred ceremony, showcasing the young French leader as a baby being baptized into the Catholic faith. The engraving portrays an intimate domestic scene, with Napoleon's parents standing proudly by his side. His mother, filled with love and devotion, gazes tenderly at her son while his father looks on with a regal air befitting a king. This image not only showcases the familial bond but also hints at the future greatness that lies ahead for this child. Religion plays a central role in this artwork, as it symbolizes both tradition and spirituality. The mass taking place in the background emphasizes the importance of faith within French society during that time. The 18th-century setting adds to the historical significance of this piece, transporting us back to an era when France was undergoing immense political and social changes. This remarkable print is part of Stefano Bianchetti's collection "Lemage" which celebrates iconic moments from history captured through artistry and imagination. It serves as a testament to Napoleon's early years and offers viewers an opportunity to reflect on his journey from humble beginnings to becoming one of history's most influential figures.
