Bonaparte Crossing the Alps is an 1848 painting by the French painter Paul Delaroche. The painting depicts Napoleon Bonaparte leading his army crossing the Alps on the back of a donkey in the spring of 1800, during the Second Italian Campaign. There are five versions of the work: the 1848 copy exhibited at the Louvre is considered the earliest original; a second version, dated 1850 in Nice, belongs to the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool and was long mistakenly considered the earliest version. Three other smaller-scale reproductions hang in the Thiers Library in Paris, at Buckingham Palace in London, and in a private collection. The painting is inspired by Jacques-Louis David's work Bonaparte crossing the Great St Bernard Pass (1801–1803), where David also shows Napoleon crossing the Great St Bernard Pass, but presents significant differences between the two conceptions of the same subject. Where David's Bonaparte is idealized in the manner of an ancient hero, Delaroche's is depicted realistically and uncompromisingly, in a romantic style that was fashionable at the time. |
