EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph by Job (Jacques Onfroy de Breville) takes us back to a significant moment in history, where Napoleon Bonaparte stands before the majestic Sphinx in Egypt. The print, part of the collection "Le Grand Napoleon des Petites Enfants" from 1893, beautifully captures the essence of this encounter between one of history's most renowned figures and an ancient marvel. Napoleon's fascination with Egypt is well-documented, as he sought to unravel its mysteries and gain insight into its rich culture. In this lithograph, we witness his intense observation of the Sphinx, a symbol of power and enigma that has captivated countless generations. The artist Stefano Bianchetti skillfully portrays both Napoleon's awe-inspired expression and the intricate details carved into the ancient monument. The lines etched on stone seem to come alive under his masterful hand. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to witness a pivotal moment when two great forces collide - one representing modernity and ambition while the other embodies timeless wisdom and grandeur. It serves as a reminder that even mighty conquerors like Napoleon were humbled by the wonders of antiquity. This lithograph not only showcases artistic brilliance but also invites us to ponder our place within history's vast tapestry. It reminds us that no matter how powerful or influential we may become, there will always be something greater than ourselves waiting to be discovered.
