Bonaparte à Milan is a 1800 oil by Andrea Appiani, a Neoclassicism work, depicting Napoleon, held at Montreal Museum of Fine Arts.
The painting depicts a man dressed in a black military uniform adorned with gold embroidery and red accents. He stands with his left hand resting on the hilt of a sword, while his right hand grasps the handle of a cane. A white sash with red trim is wrapped around his waist, and a red collar is visible around his neck. The background of the painting is a gradient of gray, transitioning from light to dark. The man's attire and the style of the painting suggest a formal portrait. To learn more about the artist who created this work, look up Andrea Appiani.
Andrea Appiani (31 May 1754 – 8 November 1817) was an Italian neoclassical painter. He is known as "the elder", to distinguish him from his great-nephew Andrea Appiani, a historical painter in Rome.
