Napoleon I at Fontainebleau on March 31, 1814

Napoleon I at Fontainebleau on March 31, 1814 (also known as Napoleon Abdicating at Fontainebleau or Napoleon at Fontainebleau) is an oil on canvas painting by the French painter Paul Delaroche, created in 1840. Not coincidentally, the work was made in the same year that the Retour des cendres (return of the ashes), or the return of Napoleon's mortal remains from the island of Saint Helena took place. The original of the painting is held at the Army Museum, in Paris, while there are copies at the Museum der bildenden Künste, in Leipzig and in the British Royal Collection, on display at Osborne House.
