The Coronation of Napoleon by Alain Pougetoux
Napoleon's installation as emperor of France by the pope in December 1804 was commemorated by Jacques-Louis David's The Coronation of Napoleon, one of the largest and most famous paintings at the Louvre. The bicentennial celebration of the coronation at the Louvre will be accompanied by this exhibition catalog, providing a thorough explanation of the context of the event, the relationship of David (who did not attend the coronation) and Napoleon, and a history of the painting's exhibition. Detailed close-ups featuring many of the more than 150 portraits and groups in the David's painting accompany popular prints, drawings, and other renderings of the coronation.
