Miniatures from the Time of Napoleon
Catalogue of Miniatures from the Time of Napoleon, 2020
The 150 portrait miniatures from the epoch of Napoleon I (between 1795 and 1815) presented in this volume are astonishing in their high artistic level and craftsmanship. In contrast to the theatrically exaggerated portrait of absolutism, the people depicted here are realistic and modern in appearance - a gallery of women, men and children from a politically turbulent and war-dominated period.
