Description |
English: ou les Causes et les Effets This drawing attributes Napoleon's downfall to having created an empire too vast for his governing skills. He is shown taking an immense stride from Madrid, represented by a cluster of Gothic pinnacles, to Moscow, represented by the onion domes of the Kremlin. His stilts rest only on the spikes which project from pinnacles and domes. The stilts are breaking and he is about to fall. He has dropped his scepter and orb, he's looking down, and his hat is falling. Madrid and Moscow are divided by the ornamental water or canal leading from the waterfront of Fontainebleau, where Napoleon abdicated on April 6, 1814. Green hills lie between Madrid and Fontainebleau.
