• Comment. This is a famous painting, but our article on the painting leads with a different choice among its five versions and it's not clear to me why the nominated one should be selected as the one of those five to be featured. It's for the painting, not for its use in Napoleon, that this has EV. —David Eppstein (talk) 23:28, 17 March 2020 (UTC)

Anyhow, the original of this stylized and blatantly hagiographic painting was done at the request French ambassador to Spain for political reasons. The nominated copy seen here was done a year later. – Sca (talk) 15:18, 19 March 2020 (UTC)
