The scene gathers a group of figures before a staircase against a backdrop of urban architecture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe echo of Versailles in cabinet format\u003c\/b\u003e During the 19th century, the art market highly valued the acquisition of faithful oil copies of the great paintings that triumphed at the Paris Salon. This work, signed by Renée, replicates with great technical precision the famous monumental canvas by the French painter Nicolas Louis François Gosse (1787-1878), a piece that is now part of the collections of the Palace of Versailles. The intimate format of this canvas (barely 18 x 14 cm) demands outstanding technical expertise to translate the grandiloquence of the original into cabinet dimensions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe pulse of European geopolitics\u003c\/b\u003e Iconographically, the painting is history framed. It immortalizes the tense encounter of July 6, 1807, the high point of the Treaty of Tilsit. In the scene, Queen Louise of Prussia appears before Napoleon Bonaparte to attempt to soften the very harsh peace conditions imposed on her country. The detail of the work allows for the unmistakable recognition of the figures who shaped the Europe of that time: Napoleon in the uniform of a Chasseur à Cheval of the Imperial Guard, Tsar Alexander I of Russia, King Frederick William III, and, observing strategically from the stairs behind, the minister Talleyrand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTechnical Data Sheet\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Renée (period copyist), after the original composition by Nicolas Louis François Gosse (1787-1878).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTitle \/ Subject:\u003c\/b\u003e Napoleon receives Queen Louise of Prussia in Tilsit (July 6, 1807).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeriod:\u003c\/b\u003e 19th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTechnique and Support:\u003c\/b\u003e Oil on canvas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 18 x 14 cm (Work) | 42 x 38 cm (With frame).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSignature and Inscriptions:\u003c\/b\u003e Signed \"d'ap.
