Jacques-Louis David, Coronation of Napoleon, 1805-1805, France

This painting was done by Napoleon's official court painter, Jacques-Louis David, in 1808. I think this painting is a beautiful representation of Neoclassicism. David portrayed Napoleon coronation, and the architecture of the Notre Dame cathedral with great fidelity to the actual events of that day.
