"Buonaparte Leaving Egypt" is a notable satirical print by the British caricaturist James Gillray, created in 1798. This work is part of Gillray's extensive oeuvre of political satire, which often targeted figures and events of the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars. The print depicts a caricatured Napoleon Bonaparte, who led the French Army in the Egyptian campaign, hastily abandoning his troops as he sails back to France. The imagery is rich with mockery, showing Bonaparte standing in a small, overloaded boat, surrounded by symbolic elements that critique his leadership and the outcomes of the Egyptian expedition.

Gillray's work is characterized by its intricate detail, sharp wit, and the capacity to convey complex political messages through visual means. "Buonaparte Leaving Egypt" serves not only as a piece of political commentary but also as a historical document, reflecting British public sentiment and the nationalistic fervor of the time. The print captures a pivotal moment in Bonaparte's career, highlighting the perceived failure of the Egyptian campaign and foreshadowing his subsequent rise to power in France.

James Gillray, considered one of the fathers of political cartooning, used his art to influence public opinion and engage with the political discourse of his time. "Buonaparte Leaving Egypt" exemplifies Gillray's skill in blending artistry with political critique, making it a significant piece in the study of British satirical art and the political history of the late 18th century. The print remains an important artifact for historians, art scholars, and enthusiasts of satirical art, offering insights into the era's political dynamics, cultural attitudes, and the power of visual satire.
