1841
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Napoleon is a 1841 by Ange-Louis Janet Lange, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This drawing shows a man in a military uniform sitting tall on a white horse. His coat has gold buttons, and the horse’s reins are held loosely in his left hand. The background is a simple field with rocks and a few bushes, keeping the focus on the rider. The artist used soft shading to show the horse’s muscles and the folds in the man’s coat. This style makes the scene feel calm but strong. If you like this, check out Romanticism next.
