The print captures the iconic painting "Napoleon Crossing the Alps" by Jacques Louis David. This masterpiece, created in 1803, depicts Napoleon Bonaparte as he crosses the St Bernard Pass in May 1800 during his campaign against Italy. The oil on canvas artwork measures an impressive 259x221 cm and is housed at the Musee National du Chateau de Malmaison in Rueil-Malmaison, France.
