Robert Lefevre: Capturing the Essence of Napoleon and his Court Step into the world of Emperor Napoleon I through the masterful brushstrokes of Robert Lefevre. In his iconic painting "Emperor Napoleon I, in Profile to the right - A Design for a Medal, " Lefevre captures the commanding presence and determination that defined this legendary leader. But it is not only Napoleon who receives Lefevre's artistic attention. In "Portrait of Josephine Bonaparte, " we see a delicate yet captivating depiction of Napoleon's beloved wife. The detail in 77330 (oil on canvas) showcases her grace and beauty, while another portrait reveals her regal elegance. Lefevre's talent extends beyond capturing individuals; he also immortalizes key figures from Napoleonic history. His work "Napoleon the Great, Emperor of the French, King of Italy" transports us back to c1806 when France was at its zenith under his rule. Through portraits such as Nicolas Charles Oudinot and Pierre Augereau, both painted in 1804 by Francois Pigeot, we gain insight into other influential military leaders who played crucial roles during this era. Maurin's portrayal of Nicolas Charles Oudinot in 1811 further emphasizes their importance. The political landscape is not forgotten either, with AE Anderson depicting Anne-Jean-Marie-Rene Savary - Duke of Rovigo in 1814. This painting serves as a reminder that even those closest to power were subject to change as dynasties rose and fell. Marshal Charles-Pierre-Francois Augereau, Duke of Castiglione, comes alive through Lefevre's artistry around c1800. Similarly, Hugues-Bernard Maret - Duke Bassano exudes authority in his portrait from that same period by T Johnson.
