Napoleon Crossing the Alps, Jacques-Louis David, May 1801

Napoleon in a red cloak mounted on a chestnut horse. The tack is simpler than in the original version, lacking the martingale, and the girth is grey-blue. There are traces of snow on the ground. Napoleon's features are sunken with the faint hint of a smile. Object Type: painting. Genre: equestrian portrait. Date: May 1801. Dimensions: height: 271 cm (106.6 in); width: 232 cm (91.3 in).
