Bonaparte Crossing the Alps at the Grand-St.-Bernard, by Jacques Louis David
This Neoclassical painting by Jacques Louis David shows Napoleon on his journey across the Alps to invade Italy in David was a supporter of the Revolution and a friend of Robespierre. He switched allegiance when Napoleon came to power. David combined historical painting and portraiture to create an image of a heroic hero. To remind us that Napoleon was only the 3rd general to cross the Alps, the artist included the names Bonaparte, Hannibal, and Karolus Magnus (Charlemagne) on the rocks in the lower left of the painting, linking Napoleon to these other greats.
