Napoleon Bonaparte by Hirohiko Araki
Volume 10: “The French Revolution and the Path to the Nation-State – The Awakening to Freedom, Human Rights, and Independence”
Napoleon Bonaparte was a French military commander who became emperor in May 1804, a few years after the French Revolution. His reign ended after his defeat at Waterloo, resulting in his exile and eventual death on Saint Helena in 1821.
Araki’s illustration is based on Jacques-Louis David’s Napoleon Crossing the Alps painting from 1801.
