"Caroline Bonaparte and Her Children" is an 1808 portrait by the French painter Baron François Gérard, depicting Maria Annunziata Caroline Murat (née Bonaparte), the younger sister of Napoleon Bonaparte, along with her two eldest children, Achille and Letizia Murat. Caroline Bonaparte, born on March 25, 1782, in Ajaccio, Corsica, was a significant figure in European history, known for her intelligence, political acumen, and influential role during her brother's reign. She married Joachim Murat, who became King of Naples, making her Queen consort of Naples from 1808 to 1815.

The painting is a prime example of early 19th-century French portraiture, showcasing Gérard's skill in capturing the elegance and grace of his subjects, as well as his ability to imbue his portraits with a sense of personal character and political significance. In the portrait, Caroline is depicted in regal attire, reflecting her status as a queen and member of the Bonaparte dynasty. Her children are portrayed with an air of youthful innocence, yet their poised demeanor hints at their royal upbringing and the expectations placed upon them.

This artwork not only serves as a family portrait but also as a political statement, emphasizing the power and reach of the Bonaparte family across Europe. The portrait would have been used to promote the legitimacy and stability of Caroline's husband's kingdom in Naples, as well as the broader Napoleonic empire.

Caroline Bonaparte's life was marked by her ambitious nature and her ability to navigate the complex political landscapes of her time. After her husband's execution in 1815, following Napoleon's fall, Caroline lived in exile and died on May 18, 1839, in Florence, Italy. Her children, particularly Achille, who later moved to the United States, led varied lives that reflected the turbulent post-Napoleonic era in Europe.

The portrait "Caroline Bonaparte and Her Children" by Baron François Gérard is an important work of art that provides insight into the personal and political dynamics of the Bonaparte family, as well as the broader historical context of the Napoleonic era. It remains a valuable piece for historians and art enthusiasts alike, offering a window into the legacy of one of history's most influential families.
