"Napoleon I on His Deathbed" is an 1825 painting by the French artist Horace Vernet. The artwork captures the final moments of Napoleon Bonaparte, the former Emperor of the French, who died in exile on the island of Saint Helena on May 5, 1821. Vernet, known for his historical scenes and military subjects, presents a poignant image of the once-powerful leader lying lifeless on his bed, surrounded by the sparse furnishings of his final place of residence, Longwood House.

The painting is notable for its attention to detail and historical accuracy, reflecting Vernet's commitment to realism. It shows the deposed emperor dressed in his familiar military uniform, a stark contrast to the vulnerability of death. The subdued color palette and the somber mood of the piece evoke a sense of the end of an era and the mortality of even the most influential figures.

Horace Vernet was the grandson of the celebrated painter Joseph Vernet and was widely recognized in his time for his depictions of Napoleonic battles and French military victories. His portrayal of Napoleon on his deathbed is a departure from the glorification of war, instead offering a personal and humanizing view of the emperor.

"Napoleon I on His Deathbed" has been analyzed by art historians as an important work in the context of the Bourbon Restoration, which sought to suppress the Napoleonic legend. However, Vernet's painting contributed to the preservation of Napoleon's image in the collective memory of France and beyond. The artwork remains an influential piece in the study of French Romanticism and the cultural legacy of Napoleon Bonaparte.
