FRAMING INFORMATION

Napoleon Crossing the Alps 2

Born in August of 1748 in the charming city of Paris, France, Jacques-Louis David is one of the most talented French artists of his time. Influential and very interested in politics, David became close to Emperor Napoleon and was commissioned to work in multiple artworks for the government. His immense skills can be seen in masterpieces like Consecration of the Emperor Napoleon I and Coronation of the Empress Josephine, and The Intervention of the Sabine Women, both housed at the Louvre museum.

Napoleon Crossing the Alps is arguably one of the most known works of art from the Neo-classical era. This marvelous oil painting depicts the moment that Napoleon Bonaparte, still as the first consul and general of the French army, was guiding his troops through the alps, trying to surprise the Austrians, who were sieging Masséna, Genoa.

Commissioned by King Charles IV from Spain, David needed four months to end the masterpiece. Using white for the background, the artist created three layers to form the panting. The first one, he used mostly ochre and light brush strokes, creating the outlines both from the famous general, his horse, and the mountains in the background. In the second layer, Jacques-Louis used gentle strokes, adding color, and working in the details, focusing more on the lights and shades. The last layer was partially finished by his students. The purpose of this final layer was to correct small imperfections that were left behind, smooth the surface by blending the colors, and the overall finishing touches.

Bonaparte later commissioned three other versions of this astonishing painting. One was meant for the Château de Saint-Cloud, another version was for Les Invalides, and one was to be sent to Milan, in the palace of the Cisalpine Republic until 1816. There is also a fifth version of this painting that David made for himself.

Also known as The Charlottenburg version, there are some details that are different from the other versions. The most noticeable is the horse’s chestnut color, instead of the original piebald, featuring black and white colors. With smoother colors, the martingale is painted with a greyish blue color, giving a better feeling of adherence between the rider and the ride. Napoleon is painted using a red cloak and displays a faint smile, showing content with his decision to cross the Alps and win the battle at Montebello. To end the list of the modifications made by the artist, he also added small portions of snow in-ground, portraying better the moment of the passage.

Finest quality stretching, gallery wrap or framing

Purchasing without a frame
(unstreched canvas)

When purchasing a painting on its own, it will arrive rolled inside a secure tube with an extra 1.5" of white canvas on all sides so you can easily frame it in any local frame shop.

Purchasing a frame

You may choose to purchase your painting framed, in which case, it will arrive "ready to hang". We offer more than 20 beautiful models, all hand finished and expertly assembled by our experienced framers.

Note that for safety reasons we can only frame up to a certain size. Once the maximum size is reached the framing option is automatically disabled.

Purchasing a Stretching Service

If you are planning to frame your painting yourself, use an existing frame, or frame it locally, you may choose to order your painting with a stretching service, meaning that it will arrive mounted on wooden bars.

Purchasing a Gallery Wrap

If you're considering not framing your painting at all, you may opt for a Gallery Wrap. The term Gallery Wrap refers to the way the canvas is stretched, which is by wrapping it around thick stretcher bars, about 1.5 inch thick, with the canvas being secured to the back rather than the sides of those bars.

All orders ship with UPS, FedEx or DHL and will arrive directly to your home or office. A tracking number will be emailed to you as soon as the order leaves our studio so you can track it online. All orders ship express and usually arrive within 4-5 days from the shipping date. Due to shipping restraints, many of our framed, stretched, and oversize paintings may take 6-21 days for arrival depending on the safest route determined by the postal service.
