EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph depicts a pivotal moment in European history: Napoleon Bonaparte's flight from the Battle of Waterloo on June 18, 1815. The scene unfolds under the bright, sun-kissed Italian sky, with the exterior walls of Milan's Civica Raccolta delle Stampe (Civic Collection of Prints) serving as a serene backdrop. The masterpiece, part of the Achille Bertarelli collection, is a testament to the enduring power of art to immortalize historical events. The Battle of Waterloo, fought between the French army led by Napoleon and the Seventh Coalition, marked the end of Napoleon's rule as the Emperor of the French. In this image, Napoleon is shown on horseback, with a determined expression, as he flees the battlefield. The artist has skillfully captured the tension and drama of the moment, with the sun casting long shadows and bathing the scene in a warm, golden glow. The lithography technique, a popular method for mass-producing prints during the 19th century, has lent a vibrant, colorful quality to the image. The intricate details of the soldiers, horses, and landscape are rendered with remarkable precision, transporting viewers back in time to witness this historic event. This print not only serves as a visual record of the Battle of Waterloo but also as a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of Milan and the enduring allure of historical narratives. The combination of history, art, and the beauty of the Italian landscape makes this a truly captivating and evocative piece.
