Statue of Napoleon I of France, Bastia
Statue of Napoleon I of France, Bastia, Bronze statue in Place Saint-Nicolas, Bastia, France
The monument depicts Napoleon I wearing a toga and laurel crown, holding a scepter in his left hand and a scroll in his right hand.
Initially commissioned in 1813 by Elisa Bonaparte for Livorno, the statue remained in Bartolini's workshop until its placement in Bastia during 1853.
The sculpture represents Napoleon as a Roman emperor with attributes of Jupiter, reflecting the neoclassical style and imperial symbolism of nineteenth-century France.
The statue stands in the center of Place Saint-Nicolas, accessible by foot from the port area and local transportation stops.
The pedestal features the coat of arms of Bastia on three sides and includes Latin inscriptions that emphasize its monumental character.
