Napoleon Enamel Pin
Inspired by "Napoleon Crossing the Alps" by Jacques-Louis David
Jacques-Louis David (1748-1825) was a French
Neoclassical painter well-known for his politically and morally charged history paintings. His famous depiction of the French ruler Napoleon Bonaparte,
"Napoleon Crossing the Alps" (1801), applies the conventions of academic history paintings to a contemporary subject. The painting celebrates Napoleon's actual crossing in a highly idealized manner, depicting him much younger than he was and on a horse when in reality he had ridden a mule.
The surrounding landscape strategically serves to center the authority of the heroic Napoleon.
