EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures Napoleon Bonaparte in all his regal glory, donned in his Coronation Robes. Painted by Robert Lefevre in 1811, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures an impressive 278x206 cm and is currently housed at the Château de Versailles in France. Napoleon, the formidable French Emperor and ruler, exudes power and authority as he sits upon a grand throne adorned with a laurel wreath. Dressed in an exquisite ermine robe, he holds both the ceremonial orb and scepter symbolizing his imperial status. The attention to detail is remarkable; every brushstroke brings out the intricate embroidery of his robes and the shimmering gold accents that embellish them. Notably, Napoleon's iconic bee emblem can be seen prominently displayed throughout the composition, representing industry and productivity. In this formal portrayal, Napoleon's piercing gaze commands respect while hinting at his ambition for conquest. The artist skillfully captures both his strength and vulnerability through subtle facial expressions. This print offers viewers a glimpse into one of history's most influential figures during a pivotal moment - December 2nd, 1804 - when Napoleon was crowned Emperor of France. It serves as a testament to his enduring legacy as well as an artistic celebration of his achievements.
