EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history - Emperor Napoleon crowning himself. Created by the renowned artist Jacques Louis David, this pencil sketch with traces of ink is a study for his famous painting "Le Sacre de l'empereur Napoléon 1er" which depicts the coronation of Napoleon Bonaparte on December 2nd, 1804. In this image, we see Napoleon seated on a grand throne, adorned with a laurel wreath and wearing an impressive crown. To his right sits Pope Pius VII, who played a significant role in the consecration ceremony. The attention to detail in David's drawing showcases his mastery as an artist and highlights the neoclassical style that was prevalent during this period. The composition exudes power and authority as it captures the moment when Napoleon solidifies his rule over France. The sword resting beside him symbolizes military might while the mitre worn by Pope Pius VII represents religious legitimacy. This artwork not only reflects French royalty but also serves as a testament to Europe's political landscape during the early 18th century. It is an invaluable piece housed at Louvre Museum in Paris, France. Through this print from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, viewers can appreciate both the artistic skill of Jacques Louis David and gain insight into one of history's most influential figures - Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte.
