Napoleon.

I have my European History exam tonight, the only thing my brain has room for is (in no particular order) enlightenment, the glorious revolution, the french revolutions, the great depression, peasant revolts, lenin, wwI, wwII, cold war, stalin, treaties and pacts of all sorts, capital cities, socialism and Napoleon Bonaparte. I don't know what it is with this following image of Napoleon, maybe that I'm so used to him being painted in military clothing, but I love this painting of him 1806. I hope you like it as much as I do!


"Napoleon I on his Imperial Throne, by Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres, 1806"

Now THAT is an emporior if I've ever seen one!
