EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres' masterpiece, "Bonaparte as First Consul, 1804". Painted in oil on canvas, this monumental artwork measures 227x147 cm and is housed at the Musee des Beaux-Arts de Liège in Belgium. In the painting, Napoleon Bonaparte stands confidently as the first consul of France. Dressed in a striking uniform adorned with medals and decorations, he points to an August 1803 decree that allocated funds for the reconstruction of Liege. Behind him, we catch a glimpse of the majestic church of St. Lambert through a window. The composition exudes a sense of power and authority as Bonaparte sits on an elegant chair covered in red velvet against a backdrop of lush landscapes visible through the window. A scroll and quill rest on his desk, symbolizing his role as a leader who shapes history through legislation. Ingres masterfully captures both the physical likeness and charismatic presence of Napoleon I in this neo-classical portrait. The artist's attention to detail is evident not only in Bonaparte's facial features but also in every element within the scene. This remarkable piece offers viewers an intimate glimpse into one of history's most influential figures during his early years as ruler. It serves as a testament to Ingres' skillful craftsmanship and ability to immortalize significant moments through artistry.
