Napoléon Bonaparte - bust
|
Umelec: |
Baron Carlo Marochetti
|
This marble bust of Napoleon, closely resembling the First
Empire busts of the Emperor by Antoine Denis Chaudet, bears
on its front surface the inscription "AU VICOMTE DE TRIMOND/ DON DU DUC DE
REICHSTADT/ EN SOUVENIR DU RÉTABLISSEMENT DE LA/ VILLE DE MONTAUBAN COMME CHEF
LIEU PAR S.M. L'EMPEREUR".
This very early work of Marochetti, almost certainly
executed on commission, suggests that contact had been maintained between the
Marochetti and Bonaparte families. The Duke of Reichstadt was the only
legitimate son of the Emperor through his marriage to Marie Louise. He died of
tuberculosis on 22 July 1832, two years after the execution of this bust.
