About this work

This painting shows Napoleon Bonaparte standing tall in a dark coat. His right hand is tucked inside his coat. Shadows on his face make him look serious. Rosenthal often painted famous figures from history. He worked in the late 1800s, when Americans loved stories of European leaders. The style feels stiff compared to today’s portraits. Look up Max Rosenthal (American, 1833–1918) to see more of his work.
