Detail of the Public Viewing David's Coronation at the Louvre by Boilly in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, January 2022
Title: The Public Viewing David’s "Coronation" at the Louvre
Artist: Louis Léopold Boilly (French, La Bassée 1761–1845 Paris)
Date: 1810
Medium: Oil on canvas
Dimensions: 24 1/4 x 32 1/2 in. (61.6 x 82.6 cm)
Classification: Paintings
Credit Line: Gift of Mrs. Charles Wrightsman, 2012
Accession Number: 2012.156
David’s gigantic painting of Napoleon crowning his wife as Empress Josephine was shown on three occasions at the Musée du Louvre between 1808 and 1810. These public spectacles were highly political, celebratory endorsements of Napoleon’s audacious claim to power in 1804. As represented by Boilly, visitors to the Louvre could decipher all the key actors in David’s vast composition by consulting printed guidebooks, such as the one held by the military man at left. Hats are being removed, either in deference to the imperial couple or for better visibility; children make up a significant proportion of the crowd, perhaps in reference to the future of France.
