Napoleon's Return from Elba (French: Retour de Napoleon d' Isle d'Elbe) is an 1818 history painting by the German-born French artist Charles de Steuben. [1] [2] It depicts the scene at Laffrey near Grenoble on 7 March 1815 when Napoleon, having escaped from Elba, is acclaimed by the men of the 7th Regiment of the Line.
The artist was well known for his scenes of naval and land battles. He set this work around the Battle of Alexandria in March 1801, when a British army allied to the Ottoman Empire successfully defeated French forces who had launched an Invasion of Egypt under Napoleon Bonaparte three years earlier.
The characters in the painting. Napoleon I (1769–1821), is standing, dressed in coronation robes similar to those of Roman emperors. Others are merely passive spectators. In the actual painting it is possible to see the outline of what was originally painted: Napoleon holding the crown above his own head, as if placing it on himself.
