Description
When writers contemplate the character of George Washington, they often quote Napoleon Bonaparte, who is supposed to have uttered the line “They wanted me to be another Washington.” The general who became a dictator and lost his empire reflects ruefully on the general who could have assumed a kingship, but did not. The painting above is a obvious recreation of the Napoleon Crossing the Alps painting by Jacques-Louis David.
