And scenes from Napoleonic wars?
Was looking for a particular one and didn't realize there were so many.

Probably bc of the huge impact he had on the world.

He had a good publicist and was comfortable tooting his own horn.

Probably something to do with the complex.

It is because of the painterazzi that covered and followed his every step. Lady Di had it easy compared to the guys who followed Bonaparte, easels in tow...

Because he was maybe the greatest leader in history.

He was a master propagandist; fine art was his Instagram of the day.

A lot of artists in France and he was kinda good at what he did?

Most famous demagogue in the world prior to WWII.

Idk maybe because he's one of the greatest conquerors and military minds that's ever existed in our species

His great-nephew started the F.B.I.

He brought “good” liberalism to Europe. A Europe that was still clutching to feudalism.

He was a complex character

Jacques-Louis David was a French painter in the Neoclassical style, considered to be the preeminent painter of the era
Great painter and a major political figure.
Almost everyone knows David's paintings, even if they don't know his name.

Because he’s short and doesn’t take as much paint
