About the Item

Marriage of Napoleon and Marie-Louise, 1810 - Galerie historique de Versailles This finely detailed engraving depicts the ceremonial marriage of Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte and Marie-Louise, Archduchess of Austria, held on April 2, 1810, at the Palais du Louvre. The composition features the couple at the center of an opulent gathering, surrounded by dignitaries, clergy, and members of the imperial court. The intricately rendered costumes and ceremonial settings highlight the grandeur and significance of this historical event, symbolizing a union between two powerful empires. This print is part of the "Galerie historique de Versailles," a monumental project documenting key moments in French history through visual art. It is not only a testament to the opulence of the Napoleonic era but also offers insights into the interplay of politics, religion, and ceremony during this period. The historical importance and artistic quality make it a valuable piece for collectors interested in Napoleonic history and French art. Designed and engraved by Massard after a painting by Rouget, this engraving was created as part of the series initiated by Charles Gavard in the 19th century. The "Galerie historique de Versailles" stands as a significant effort to preserve French history through the arts, and this piece is an outstanding example of that legacy.
