About the Item
Erulo Eroli
1854-1916 Italian
Young Emperor
Signed "Erulo Eroli Roma" (lower left)
Oil on canvas
Standing over five feet tall, this monumental painting by celebrated Italian painter Erulo Eroli is a triumph of precision and drama. Young Emperor captures a defining moment in the imperial education of a young leader, epitomizing the height of the academic tradition.
The composition presents a pivotal moment in imperial education—a young heir to the Roman Empire being guided through the Colosseum, a symbolic preparation for his future role as ruler. Eroli employs sophisticated chiaroscuro techniques to create an ethereal glow around the youthful emperor while casting the architectural elements in shadow, creating a compelling narrative and showcasing his technical virtuoso. The detailed accuracy of the scene is remarkable—Eroli's thorough understanding of Roman architecture, costume and society provides an authentic glimpse into imperial life that few artists of his era could achieve with such conviction.
Born in Rome in 1854, Eroli emerged as a significant figure in Italian academic painting during the late 19th century. His formal training and lifelong engagement with the classical traditions of his native city informed his artistic practice, culminating in works that celebrate Rome's cultural legacy. Eroli's technical excellence earned considerable recognition during his lifetime, including a silver medal from the Society of Fine Arts in Rome for his painting, Bacchante. His works were also prominently featured at the 1883 Exposition in Rome, establishing his reputation among the period's artistic elite. Today, Eroli's paintings reside in several prestigious institutions, including the Gallery of Modern Art in Palermo and the National Museum of Italian Risorgimento in Torino.

Portrait of Napoléon II
Located in New Orleans, LA
The son of the legendary Napoléon Bonaparte, Napoléon François Charles Joseph, takes a spirited stance in this remarkable oil painting attributed to the Austrian portraitist Johann Peter Krafft. Believed to have been exhibited at the Exposition Universelle of 1900 in Paris, this work stands as a testament to both Austrian artistry and the legacy of one of the most powerful men in history.
After Napoléon's exile to the island of Elba in 1814, his son was seen by many of his supporters as the last hope of France. The child was named the ruler of half of Europe, holding the titles of Napoléon II...

THE LAST DAYS OF NAPOLÉON BY
Located in New Orleans, LA
This highly evocative bronze by Vincenzo Vela captures the deposed Emperor Napoléon on his deathbed, holding a map of Europe and lost in thought about what might have been. Remarkable among most portrayals of the exiled leader, this highly detailed sculpture depicts Napoléon at his most vulnerable. Nonetheless, Vela perfectly captures his still-heroic bearing, which imparts to this work a monumental quality and quiet dignity. The mate to this figure is the colossal marble at the Musée du Château de Malmaison, which was shown at the Paris Salon of 1867.
The founder of the verismo movement in Italy, Vela was one of the great exponents of realism in sculpture. Born in Ligornetto, Switzerland in 1820, he studied under celebrated sculptor, Benedetto Cacciatori. He was also influenced both by the work of Tuscan sculptor Lorenzo Bartolini, who seamlessly combined neoclassicism with naturalism and the romantic painting of Francesco Hayez...
