Napoleon black bust

Since the beginning of the Consulate period, Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821) became aware of the importance of showing his portrait to the French people. Thus began the building of his own legend. All supports were used, from sculptures to tabaqueras and fans. The multiplicity of objects bearing the Emperor's effigy or representing imperial symbols constituted an extraordinary propaganda tool of the Napoleonic legend. During the Restoration, however, the Bonapartists were forced to hide and prepare their revenge, spreading more and more seditious objects. The Emperor's death in 1821 made him less dangerous in the eyes of the realistics and the copies representing his main actions multiplied once again. The Second Empire (1852) officialized the imperial legend with orders of sculptures installed in public squares and paintings exhibited in museums. Although the Second Empire restored official propaganda, the fall of the regime in 1870 ended Napoleon's celebration for 20 years. The nationalist fervor increased again in the 1890s and has since ceased to be a heroic figure.

In collaboration with the Workshop of Yeso de la Rmn - Grand Palais.
