Napoleon in the Wilderness

This painting is by Max Ernst, finished in 1941, classified as a Surrealist painting,

which is a painting of a semi-nude female figure which represented his mistress  Leonora Carrington holding a strange trumpet, at the same time almost being encased inside one of several natural formations of  rock and coral  in a  decaying fantasy- like landscape. Like many of Ernst’s rather eerie landscapes, Napoleon in the Wilderness is loaded with symbolism including the artist’s own sense of loss and grief, and the promise of decay and renewal.
