The Empress's Jewels

In the weeks that followed the collapse of the French Empire, Joséphine entertained not only Tsar Alexander I, but many other European dignitaries from nearby countries. She was ill at the time, however, and one morning, after catching a chill while walking with the Tsar, she retired to bed. Six weeks later, she died, and shortly after her funeral Alexander bought a significant number of paintings and sculptures from her collection, leaving her children with ample security, and ensuring that she would always be remembered for her impeccable taste in art, fashion, and jewelry.
