Napoleon

The brilliance surrounding the historical name of Napoleon Bonaparte truly belongs to eternity, as his life, like that of a storybook prince, was filled with wars and adventures, gold and glory, and in his case, not just half a kingdom, but an entire empire. Kolonn's theme, featuring a large collection of Napoleonic memorabilia, reflects nearly his entire career in both rise and fall through artworks, sculptures, coins, medals, books, and various curiosities. Included are intriguing relics directly connected to the great man himself, as well as elegant statuettes, some with the classic pose of a hand inside the waistcoat, and almost always with the famous hat on. The theme also features numerous depictions of his close family, including his wives Josephine and Marie Louise, his son—the King of Rome—and his nephew, Napoleon III, who restored his uncle's name and fostered the Napoleonic cult, of which Kolonn's theme is a modern part.
