Return of Napoleon from the island of Elba by Vasily Ivanovich Shternberg

Return of Napoleon from the island of Elba by Vasily Ivanovich Shternberg

It seems that the picture combines two episodes: the transfer of the battalion of the 5th line regiment to Napoleon’s side at Lamur and then the 7th line under the command of Labuduayer, who retained the imperial eagle. Colonel Labudoyer is depicted in the picture on the left with a hat and a bare saber in his hands.

Here is what Stendhal writes about Labeduyera: “Soon the young colonel himself appeared at the head of the greater part of his regiment – the 7th Infantry, formed from the remnants of the 112th Regiment and some other parts.

The colonel secretly left with his units from Grenoble at four o’clock in the afternoon; he took out an eagle from his pocket, fastened it to a long pole, and kissed it in front of his regiment, who at once shouted in unison: “Long live the emperor!” Then he hit the drum with a knife, filled with tricolor cockades and immediately handed them to his soldiers. “
