After Napoleon Bonaparte died on May 5, 1821, on the island of Saint Helena, a death mask was made just days later. Death masks were common for important figures at the time, serving as historical records rather than art.
The original mold is believed to have been taken on May 7, 1821, during a tense moment between French and British attendants. While many sources credit Napoleon’s personal doctor, Francesco Antommarchi, historians now agree that the casting was likely initiated by British surgeon Francis Burton.
Because painted portraits often exaggerated Napoleon’s features for symbolism and propaganda, this mask is considered one of the most accurate representations of his true facial structure. Multiple copies were later produced from the original mold and spread across Europe, fueling debates about authenticity that continue today.
This mask doesn’t glorify power, it documents mortality.
