"Andrea Appiani was Napoleon's slightly older contemporary and among the best-known north Italian painters of his day, trained in the traditions of great history painting and portraiture. He first entered the studio of Carlo Maria de Giudice and then the Florentine Giuliano Traballesi, but it was his visit to Paris in 1801 that gave him an opportunity to absorb the lessons of Davidian neo-classicism. He was particularly admired for his fine frescoes in the royal palace in Milan and executed portraits of many of the leading figures of the day. Appointed painter to the Crown, he painted Napoleon as First Consul, then Emperor, on several occasions throughout the decade."
