"Napoleon on the Island of St. Helena" is an 1888 painting by renowned Armenian-Russian artist Ivan Konstantinovichivazovsky. This work falls within the mid-to-late period of Aivazovsky's oeuvre, when he had already established his reputation as a preinent marine painter. This painting prominently features Napoleon Bonaparte, the French military and political leader, during his exile on the South Atlantic island of St. Helena following his defeat at the Battle of Waterloo 1815.

In this canvas, Aivazovsky deviates somewhat from his usual focus on marine landscapes to detail the poignant narrative of Napoleon's solitude and final defeat. The painting effectively contrasts the might of nature with human transience, both themes common to romanticism. Napoleon, once the ruler of a large part of Europe, is presented as a solitary figure gazing out onto the sea from a desolate rocky outcrop, dwarfed by the vast sky, discernable turbulent seas, and an overarching rainbow, an element often symbolic of hope, covenant and divine proclamation.

Though not as well-known as Aivazovsky's pure seascapes, "Napoleon on the Island of St. Helena" uniquely melds his marine expertise with a potent historical narrative, further cementing the breadth of his artistic endeavours. The work remains an important contribution to Aivazovsky's body of art, also bearing testament to the universal fascination with the life and legacy of Napoleon Bonaparte.
