MONUMENTALE BÜSTE NAPOLEON I. BONAPARTE ALS MARS PACIFICUS. Italien. Datierung: Wohl 19.Jh. Meister/Entwerfer: Nach Antonio Canova (1757-1822). Technik: Weißer Marmor. Maße: Höhe 93cm, Breite 46cm. Das Vorbild der kolossalen Büste Napoleon I. als Mars Pacificus, schuf Antonio Canova 1803-1806 in Form der überlebensgroßen Skulptur, die heute in Apsley House in London aufgestellt ist.Auch wenn Napoleon I die Kolossalfigur aufgrund ihrer Nacktheit ablehnte, fand die daraus abgeleitete Büste großen Anklang.Sie wurde zu einem der offiziellen Porträts des Herrschers und erfuhr dadurch eine weite Verbreitung innerhalb Europas.Um die hohe Nachfrage bedienen zu können wurde sie nicht nur in Canovas Werkstatt gearbeitet, auch eine von Napoleons Schwester Elisa Bonaparte Baciocchi gegründete Akademie und Werkstatt in Carrara fertigte Reproduktionen der Büste.Die beeindruckende Büste steht in der Tradition der kolossalen Porträts römischer Kaiser und ist so auch Zeugnis und Ausdruck des Selbstverständnisses Kaiser Napoleon I. Erläuterungen zum KatalogItalien Einrichtungen und Dekorationen MONUMENTAL WHITE MARBLE BUST NAPOLEON I. BONAPARTE AS MARS PACIFICUS. Italy. Date: Presumably 19th century. Maker/Designer: After Antinio Canova (1757-1822). Technique: White marble. Measurement: Height 93cm, width 46cm. The model for the colossal bust of Napoleon I as Mars Pacificus, was created by Antonio Canova in 1803-1806 in the form of a larger-than-life sculpture that is now displayed in Apsley House in London.Even though Napoleon I rejected the colossal figure due to its nudity, the bust that was created from it was very well received.It became one of the official portraits of the emperor and thus experienced a wide distribution within Europe.In order to meet the high demand for the bust, it was not only produced in Canova's workshop, but also at an academy and workshop founded in Carrara by Napoleon's sister Elisa Bonaparte Baciocchi. The impressive bust follows the tradition of the colossal portraits of Roman emperors and is thus also a testimony and expression of the self-image of Emperor Napoleon I.
