"De Vlucht van Napoleon" (The Flight of Napoleon) is a satirical print by Christoph-Wilhelm Bock depicting the aftermath of Napoleon's defeat at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815. The artwork features a caricatured Napoleon fleeing from a victorious allegorical figure of "Vrijheid" (Freedom). The print is a caricature, using exaggerated features to satirize historical events. It offers a glimpse into the Dutch public's reaction to the defeat of Napoleon and the return of peace to Europe. It is currently on display at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
