Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Catalogue of the Drawings, Miniatures, Cameos, and Other Objects of Art, Illustrative of the Bonaparte Family: And the Principal Persons Connected With the Republic and Empire of France 14. - Jerome, youngest brother of Napoleon, King of Westphalia. By Isaby. 15. - King of Bavaria. 16. - Catherine, Princess of Wurtemburg, wife of Jerome Bonaparte, King of Westphalia. An enamel set in a snuff-box. 17. - Joseph Buonaparte, as King of Spain, formerly King of Naples, in his royal robes. 18. - Maria Louisa, Princess of Austria. 19. - Francis II., Emperor of Austria, father-in-law of Napoleon. 20. - The Empress Josephine. An enamel, after the original by the celebrated painter, Isaby. Isaby had used to relate, that whilst Josephine was sitting for her miniature, one morning he asked her what jewels she would be painted in, and she, with a most melancholy and sweet expression of countenance, looked at him, and with tears trembling on the edges of her eyelids, but which, with her heroic womanly love, she forbade to fall, said, I am about to change my state, and. I have heard it said it is a custom in England, that when a true heart is severed from that it loves, and had become its idol, that the women wear green, to denote to their friends that they are forsaken: paint me also in emeralds, to represent the undying freshness of my grief, but let them be surrounded with diamonds to pourtray the purity of my love. This was to Isaby a mystery, and so much affected was he by the simplicity of her manner, that he dared not ask an explanation, though he soon learned from rumour the truth of the meaning; for at this very time Napoleon had asked from the Emperor of Austria the hand of Maria Louisa, and had, at the solicitation of Josephine, given her that suit of jewels in which she went to the levee at the Tuilleries for the last time as the wife of Napoleon. 21. - Napoleon and Maria Louisa, in profile, face to face. A cameo in onyx. 22. - Napoleon in his imperial robes, as worn on the day of his marriage with Maria Louisa at the Palace of the Tuilleries, in April 1811. An enamel, after Isaby, by Madam Brochart. 23. - The Young King of Rome. An enamel by Constantine. 24. - Joachim Murat. By Isaby. 25. - Alexander, Emperor and Commander-in-Chief of all the Russias. 26. - Napoleon. Painted at Elba by Isaby. 27. - Lucien Buonaparte. 28. - Murat, in the dress he wore at the time he was shot at Pizzo in Calabria, Oct. 13, 1815. An enamel by Madam Brochart. 29. - Caroline, wife of Murat, sister of Napoleon. 30. - Letitia Buonaparte, eldest daughter of Joseph Buonaparte, married her cousin Charles, son of the Prince of Canino.
