EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in time - the Farewell of Napoleon and Alexander I at Tilsit on July 1807. The image, believed to have been created around 1808, showcases the meeting between two powerful leaders that would shape the course of European history. In this fine art piece, we witness Emperor Alexander I of Russia bidding farewell to Napoleon Bonaparte after signing the Treaties of Tilsit. These treaties marked a significant turning point in the Napoleonic Wars as they solidified an alliance between France and Russia against their common enemies. The composition beautifully portrays the neoclassical style prevalent during this era, with intricate details captured through copper engraving and watercolour techniques. The figures of both emperors are depicted with regal grace, emphasizing their importance on the world stage. Notably present is Queen Louise of Prussia, whose presence symbolizes freedom for her nation amidst political turmoil. Her inclusion adds depth to this historical narrative by representing not only Prussia's role in these negotiations but also highlighting her personal influence as a key figure during this period. This remarkable artwork from a private collection offers us a glimpse into one of history's most pivotal moments - where alliances were formed and destinies intertwined. It serves as a testament to graphic arts' ability to immortalize significant events while reminding us of our shared past and its enduring impact on our present-day world.
