History:
François Antommarchi was born in
Corsica in 1780 and died in Cuba in
1838. Surgeon for most of his life, he
studied at the University of Pisa in
1808 and at the Imperial University of
Florence in 1812, before being
summoned by the mother of
Napoleon I, Maria Letizia Ramonolino
and his uncle, the Cardinal Fesch, for
the purpose of becoming the
Emperor’s medical officer in 1819, on
St. Helena island. At the death of the
Emperor, May 5Th, 1821, he was the
only one allowed to autopsy the
body.
It is on May 6th, 1821 that Dr. Francis
Burtons, colleague of Antommarchi,
found enough gypsum on the island
to make a mould of the Emperor’s
face. On May 7th, 1821, a first cast of
the death mask was made, destroying
in the process the initial mould.
Antommarchi, during the summer of
1822, create a mould by using the
death mask created on May 7th,
1821, that he kept in reserve until the
death of Francis Burton (1832), in
order to avoid conflict between the
two men. In 1833, Antommarchi
launched a subscription of his model
of the death mask at the cost of 100
francs for the bronze model and 20
francs for the plaster model. The
project is sponsored by relevant
important figures of that time such as
General Bertrand and Gourgaud as
well as the earl of Flahaut. Still today,
we can find some of these death
masks in museum, such as le musée
de l’Armée à Paris, le Musée National
du Château de Malmaison, le musée
de la Maison Bonaparte à Ajaccio or le
Musée Fesch.

Bibliography :
Jean-Baptiste Claude Odiot was born
in Paris in 1763 and died in Paris in
1850. He came from a lineage of
important silversmiths, including
Jean-Baptiste Gaspard Odiot, creator
of the Maison Odiot, still existing
today. For Jean-Baptiste Claude Odiot,
the influence of the Greek and
Egyptian classical motif, the utilisation
of vermeil, the fabrication of
individual ornament and the fixation
with screw and rivet is the base of his
reputation. In 1802, he won a gold
medal at the Exposition de l’Industrie
in Paris and replaced the silversmith
of the Emperor Napoleon I, Henry
Auguste. He carried on multiple works
for the Emperor and the court of
France, such as the sword and scepter
of the imperial coronation, the cradle
of the king of Rome and the campaign
service of the Emperor. His reputation
was so important that he worked for
the countess Branicki and the count
Nikolai Demidoff, two member of the
Russian Imperial court. It is only in
1823 that he retired, giving the
Maison Odiot to his son, Charles
Nicolas Odiot, silversmith for the
Orleans royal family and to LouisPhilippe I. Today, we can find some of
his work in multiple museums, such as
Le Louvre, in Paris and the Napoleon
museum in La Havane, Cuba.
