The artwork

Salon des Cent, Exposition

Portrait of Napoleon III was an oil on canvas painting by the German portrait painter Franz Xaver Winterhalter, created in 1853. It is an official portrait of the French Emperor Napoleon III, who reigned as Emperor of the Second French Empire from 1852 to 1870. The work had the dimensions of 240 cm high and 155 cm wide. The original portrait was lost in a fire in the Tuileries Palace, in Paris, in 1871, but its known by the large number of copies made by other painters during the emperor's reign. Winterhalter had the reputation of being a leading portrait for the Royalty of Europe when he was commissioned to create two paintings of the emperor and his wife, Eugénie de Montijo, in 1852. Napoleon III wears the uniform of a lieutenant general or general, with a royal cloak over it. In reality, however, this royal cloak did not exist. In his right hand, he holds a scepter, named the hand of justice, with a crown and another scepter on the table to the left. His left-hand rests on his saber, the famous Joyeuse. He wears the regalia of the Grand Master of the Legion of Honour, especially the chain and red ribbon. In the background, on the right, is the Tuileries Palace, the emperor's residence. The original portrait was presented to the public during the Salon of the World Exhibition of 1855 in Paris and afterward hung in the Tuileries Palace, also in Paris. Between 1855 and 1870, 540 versions of this portrait were made by various painters to decorate official buildings in France. [...]
