\paperw19995 \margr0\margl0 \plain \fs20 \f1 This painting is a replica made by the artist himself of the canvas now in the MusΘe de Versailles. Probably commissioned b
y EugΦne Beauharnais, the work depicts Napoleon at the time of the Italian campaign, during his struggle with the Austrians. The artist succeeds admirably in conveying the courage and passion of the commander, made more evident by his dress uniform, whi
ch bestows an air of particular authority on the figure.
