Description: | Signed: yes Description: This is a full-length portrait of Napoleon (1769-1821; Emperor 1804-14) in uniform, standing in a palatial interior. Two volumes entitled Code Napoléon lie on the table. They refer to the new Civil Code, which had been named Code Napoléon' in 1807 to promote him as a legislator. The portrait, dating from 1813, is similar to Lefèvre's earlier Portrait of Napoleon (1809, Musée Carnavalet, Paris) and David's Portrait of Napoleon in His Study (1812, National Gallery of Art, Washington). Archibald Kennedy (12th Earl of Cassillis) acquired this portrait during his travels in Europe after the Napoleonic Wars. | Subjects: | portrait (Napoleon) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Lefèvre, Robert (French painter, 1755-1830) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8577... | Go to resource |
