Commentary


L’existence d’un exemplaire au poinçon abeille prouve que cette frappe de souvenir a été faite sous Napoléon III.
Pauline Bonaparte était l’une des plus belles femmes de son temps. Le sculpteur Canova a immortalisé la beauté victorieuse de Pauline Borghèse en une sublime Vénus de marbre, couchée sur un divan, simplement vêtue d'un drap recouvrant ses jambes. Cette Vénus Victrix se trouve à la Galerie Borghèse à Rome. L'autre œuvre de Canova, La Galatea pour laquelle elle aurait posé, se trouve au musée de San Martino (original) et des Mulini (copie) à l'île d'Elbe. Pour sa biographie complète, voir http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pauline_Bonaparte.
The existence of a bee-marked example proves that this souvenir strike was made under Napoleon III. Pauline Bonaparte was one of the most beautiful women of her time. The sculptor Canova immortalized the victorious beauty of Pauline Borghese in a sublime marble Venus, reclining on a couch, simply dressed with a sheet covering her legs. This Venus Victrix is in the Galleria Borghese in Rome. Canova's other work, La Galatea, for which she is said to have posed, is in the Museum of San Martino (original) and the Mulini (example) on the island of Elba.

Historical background


FIRST FRENCH EMPIRE. Napoléon Emperor bare head - Republican calendar

(18/05/1804-6/04/1814)

Napoleon proclaimed himself king of Italy on March 7, 1805 and appointed viceroy Eugène de Beauharnais, his son-in-law. Genoa is annexed to France on June 6. Napoleon I, from the camp of Boulogne, prepared an invasion of England during the spring and summer of 1805. The formation of the third coalition with Austria, England, Russia, Sweden and Naples on August 9 forces Bonaparte to leave Boulogne quickly; at the head of the Grande Armée, he went to the aid of Bavaria invaded by the Austrians. The capitulation of Ulm on October 20 opens the doors of Vienna which is invested on November 14. Meanwhile, the Franco-Spanish squadron was destroyed at Trafalgar by the English fleet commanded by Admiral Nelson who died during the battle. Napoleon won the Battle of Austerlitz on December 2, 1805 over the Austro-Russians. The Treaty of Pressburg gives Napoleon Venetia and Dalmatia.
