About the piece
Painted by Charles Guilbert d'Anelle circa 1850, this oil on panel work masterfully captures a moment of philanthropic drama as Napoleon III navigates floodwaters to reach survivors. The composition balances the destructive power of nature with the stoic presence of the figures, set against a backdrop of crumbling medieval-style fortifications and an expansive, atmospheric sky.
