Presentation of 130 works from the Versailles collection commissioned by the Emperor during his reign. Paintings, sculptures and furniture that marked Napoleon's life as well as his artistic and aesthetic tastes.

The Versailles estate houses the finest Napoleonic collection in the world, comprised of masterpieces—paintings, sculptures, and furniture—by Nineteenth- Century masters, such as David, Gros, Gérard, Lefèvre, Girodet, Lejeune, Canova, and Jacob-Desmalter…

A combination of splendour and discretion, military scenes, and iconic portraits, the works commissioned by Napoleon reflect a turbulent reign that became legendary, involving the most emblematic and prominent figures of the period, and the most memorable battles of the Napoleonic saga.
