Joseph Bonaparte: The Noble Diplomat and Elder Brother of Napoleon This stunning hand-colored lithograph by Legenissel, from Paul Lacroix's "Costumes Historiques de la France," showcases Joseph Bonaparte, a pivotal figure in French history as a diplomat and nobleman, and the elder brother of Napoleon Bonaparte. Born in 1768, Joseph was the fifth of eight siblings in the illustrious Bonaparte family. Joseph's diplomatic career began in 1796 when he was appointed as the French ambassador to the Court of St. James's in London. He later served as the French ambassador to the Court of Madrid from 1801 to 1803, where he played a crucial role in negotiating the Treaty of Madrid between France and Spain. Upon the rise of his brother Napoleon to the throne, Joseph became the King of Naples in 1806, a position he held until 1815 when he was exiled following the defeat of Napoleon. Joseph's reign in Naples was marked by significant cultural and administrative reforms, making him a popular figure among the Neapolitan people. This exquisite lithograph captures Joseph Bonaparte in his regal attire, symbolizing his status as a nobleman and diplomat. The intricate details of his costume, from the velvet doublet to the embroidered waistcoat and breeches, are beautifully rendered, making this a captivating piece of historical art. Joseph Bonaparte's life and career are a testament to his diplomatic skills and his contributions to French and European history. This lithograph serves as a visual reminder of his legacy and the pivotal role he played in shaping the political landscape of the 19th century.
