"The Divorce of the Empress Josephine 1763-1814 15th December 1809" is an evocative engraving created by Jean Pierre Marie Jazet (1788-1871) in 1851, based on a painting by Frederic Henri Schopin. This artwork captures a poignant moment in French history, depicting the emotional and political complexities surrounding the dissolution of the marriage between Napoleon Bonaparte and his first wife, Josephine de Beauharnais.

Josephine, born in 1763, married Napoleon in 1796, and their union was initially marked by deep affection and mutual support. However, as Napoleon's ambitions grew, the lack of an heir from their marriage became a significant issue. Despite their personal bond, the political necessity of securing a successor for the French Empire led to their divorce on December 15, 1809. This event was not only a personal tragedy for both parties but also a significant moment in the history of the Napoleonic era, reflecting the intersection of personal lives and political imperatives.

Jazet's engraving, executed over four decades after the actual event, is a testament to the enduring fascination with Napoleon and Josephine's story. The artist's meticulous attention to detail and ability to convey deep emotion through the medium of engraving brings this historical moment to life. The composition likely draws from Schopin's original painting, capturing the solemnity and gravity of the occasion. The figures are rendered with a sense of realism and pathos, emphasizing the human dimension of this historical episode.

This artwork is significant not only for its historical subject matter but also for its artistic qualities. Jazet, known for his skill in engraving, successfully translates the emotional depth and narrative complexity of Schopin's painting into a print medium. The engraving serves as a poignant reminder of the personal sacrifices made in the name of political necessity and the enduring legacy of Napoleon and Josephine's tumultuous relationship.
