The Coronation of Napoleon (1807)

$9,800

Description:

The Coronation of Napoleon (1807) by Jacques-Louis David is a grand Neoclassical painting depicting Napoleon crowning his wife Joséphine during his coronation at Notre-Dame Cathedral in 1804. Unusually, Napoleon crowns himself—asserting his authority over the church—while Pope Pius VII looks on passively.

The painting combines classical composition with imperial splendor, using idealized figures, rich detail, and architectural precision. It serves both as a historical record and political propaganda, glorifying Napoleon’s power. Today, it is housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris.

Artist:

Jacques-Louis David (1748–1825) was a leading French Neoclassical painter known for his powerful, morally driven artworks that drew inspiration from ancient Greek and Roman art and ideals. He rose to prominence during the late 18th century and became the official painter of the French Revolution and later, Napoleon Bonaparte.

David’s most famous works include The Oath of the Horatii (1784), The Death of Socrates (1787), and The Coronation of Napoleon (1807). His style is marked by clean lines, balanced compositions, classical themes, and a focus on virtue, sacrifice, and civic duty.
