Exhibition Catalogue Images of the Napoleonic Legend, présented at the musée des Beaux-arts d’Arras (7 october 2017 - 4 november 2018).
‘The emperor at the king’s home—Napoleon at Louis XIV’s’, wrote Victor Hugo in reference to Versailles.
Via the Napoleon exhibition, the ‘Versailles at Arras’ partnership highlights the history of the close link between the first emperor of the French and the royal estate. Following in the footsteps of Louis XIV and Marie-Antoinette, the time Napoleon spent at Versailles, which is often overlooked, marked the beginning of his new union with Marie-Louise.
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.
