作品描述
Napoleon on Board the Bellerophon is an 1880 history painting by the British artist William Quiller Orchardson. It depicts Napoleon, the defeated Emperor of France, as a prisoner onboard the British warship HMS Bellerophon following his defeat during the Waterloo Campaign in 1815. He stands alone on the deck with a group of his aides watching him from close by. It intends to convey the moment he learned he was being exiled to Saint Helena rather than being permitted to stay in England.
