Napoleon's first painter in Italy
Giving modern power the forms of Antiquity
Born and active in Milan, Andrea Appiani became one of the main Italian neoclassical painters. Portraitist, designer and fresco artist, he worked for the Lombard aristocracy then for Napoleon, of whom he became the court painter in Italy. His figures combine elegant precision, antique draping and political staging. The "Andrea Appiani" selection notably compares Joséphine de Beauharnais and Napoleon’s Apotheosis. His reading favors movement.
In Appiani, the portrait preserves the person while the allegory elevates the power to the height of the myth.
