Napoleon II
A commanding bronze sculpture by Jonathan Meese, *Napoleon II* presents the artist's characteristically feverish engagement with mythology, power, and historical iconography. The figure rises from an artist's wooden plinth with marble, grounding the work in a tension between raw materiality and grandiose ceremonial tradition. Meese transforms the Napoleonic legacy into a totemic, theatrical object that interrogates the seductive and dangerous nature of absolute authority.
