No. 0004 La Palette de l'Empereur (20"x26")

Why the fascination with Napoleon Bonaparte? The English lived for many years under the threat of the invasion of the tyrant "Boney", and even the French will admit that his reign was more than a touch despotic. Nevertheless, Napoleon remains an iconic anti-hero figure due to the fact that he packed an overwhelming amount of charisma and an uncommonly fierce intelligence into a man of otherwise small stature. 

"La Palette de l'Empereur" or "The Palette of the Emperor" captures in color the reign of Napoleon Bonaparte: his greatest successes, his most terrible defeats, his archaeological discoveries, his empresses, and even his favorite white stallion.
