Tomb of Napoleon II – (François Georgin, Pellerin) Previous Next


Artist:

Date: 1800

Technique: Laid Paper

Napoleon François Joseph Charles Bonaparte, son of Napoleon I, passed away at the age of 21 on July 22, 1832 in Vienna. Son of a father whom he knows only through history, he died before he could claim some acts of heroism and before being able to retake the throne of France. Only his tomb remains, in Vienna, where those loyal to his father and his own mother come to pray. The shadow of Napoleon I, who will not be able to see his wish to put his son at the head of the French people fulfilled, seems to be lamenting alongside the bereaved.
