Ingres,_Napoleon_on_his_Imperial_throne.jpg

Napoleon I on his Imperial Throne, 1806 by Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres.

Ingres' state portrait of Napoleon the I is one of the most commanding ever done. He was a young man and a student of Jacques-Louis David when he painted this work.

Jacques-Louis_David,_Le_Serment_des_Horaces.jpg

Oath of the Horatii, 1785 by Jacques-Louis David.

By painting an ancient historical subject, David was hoping to encourage people to look back at the ancient world and model their actions on that society which had been held-up by many at this time as an example to be emulated. This work helped launch the Neoclassical movement.
