Napoleons lichaam wordt ingescheept in de haven van Sint-Helena 1840 - 1841

This lithograph, created in 1840 by Jean-Baptiste Arnout, depicts the embarkation of Napoleon's body from the island of Saint Helena. The scene features several ships with French flags, including the "Belle Poule," which transported Napoleon's remains to France for a grand reburial at Les Invalides in Paris. The artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a poignant visual record of the historical event that marked the end of Napoleon's exile and sparked national mourning in France.
