David wrote the emperor for the last time. The portrait of Napoleon in his study is remarkable for the unexpected interpretation of the image.

The emperor appears here as a diligent and caring owner of Europe: he worked all night on a candle burning over his papers, and the clock already reminds you of the next point of the schedule – it’s time to go to the military review. Before fastening his sword, Napoleon throws a significant glance at the viewer – the life of your emperor is not easy…

After the defeat of Napoleon, David, who at one time voted in the Convention for the death sentence to Louis XVI, was forced to leave France. The artist went to Brussels, where he lived until his death. He continued to work: diligently, but without lifting, he painted portraits of the same as he, exiles and works on ancient subjects.
