Solution
Week 8 Discussion: Interdisciplinary Works
The Consecration of the Emperor Napoleon
Napoleon 1 commissioned Jacques Louis David to paint a vast canvas that portrays the Emperor’s Coronation’s splendor while displaying its symbolic and political message. David made an appearance at the event, and on returning to the studio, he presented the congregation with authenticity while joining art with accuracy and including Napoleon’s instructions (Williams, 2018). David achieved the expectations of painting a monumental work that would glorify the event, and ultimately become one of the most significant art pieces in the history of painting. The art is a prime example of a Neoclassicism painting style successful in France in the early 19th and late 18th centuries (Jacobus & Martin, 2019).…………………please follow the link below to purchase the solution at $5
