Napoleon Bonaparte crossing the Alps at the Grand Saint Bernard, 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: 260 cm (102.3 in) ; width: 226 cm (88.9 in).
