Napoleon crossing the Alpsis a Paint by Number oil painting representing the Emperor of France during his glorious period of the very beginning of the XIXth century. Napoleon Bonapartes regime influenced countries all over Europe from Spain to Austria and also Italy which was called the Cisalpine Republic. In fact, the emperor chased the Austrian from this Republic and reformed it for a while. During this time,
Napoleon , whose hope for spread had no limit, was ally but also enemy with Spain in a few years and tried to put an end to the monarchical regime of Austria. Bonaparte was someone who wanted to take control of everything, but as a man, he couldnt. This Paint by Number painting is a wonderful illustration of all the strongest links between the European powers that have been created since the turning of the XVIIIth century but also the undeniable opposition of some of them throughout wars and conflicts. How far can this portrait also contrast with the Emperors hidden weakness?
