Bonaparte Crossing the Alps at the Grand-St.-Bernard, by Jacques Louis David
This Neoclassical painting by Jacques Louis David shows Napoleon on his journey across the Alps to invade Italy in David was a supporter of the Revolution and a friend of Robespierre. He switched allegiance when Napoleon came to power. David combined historical painting and portraiture to create an image of a heroic hero. To remind us that Napoleon was only the 3rd general to cross the Alps, the artist included the names Bonaparte, Hannibal, and Karolus Magnus (Charlemagne) on the rocks in the lower left of the painting, linking Napoleon to these other greats.

I am afraid I shall never recover it. Historical Notes After the French defeated the Russians at the Battle of Friedland, a city on the River Niemen in western Russia, a series of meetings were held between Napoleon and Tsar Alexander. The two emperors met on a sturdy raft topped by a magnificent pavilion moored in the middle of the river. Frederick William III of Prussia was present at the second meeting. The result of the meetings was the Treaty of Tilsit, which secured a Franco-Russian alliance, reduced the size of Prussia by half, and made other rearrangements in the political landscape. More significant was a simultaneous secret treaty that called for Russia to support France in peace negotiations with Britain, and France to support Russia in peace negotiations with Turkey. In the drawing, we see Napoleon and Alexander embracing on the raft constructed for their meetings. Napoleon wears a huge bicorne, and seizes Alexander so aggressively he knocks the crown from his head. His expression is menacing, which belies his claim of fraternal affection. The tsar appears justifiably frightened and notes that his side of the raft is sinking fast. Frederick of Prussia has slipped into the water and tries to save his crown, which is floating away. He notes that he was a "Prussian cake" (slang for fool) to believe Napoleon. On each side of the raft we see barges filled with troops from both sides, and the hills in the background are covered with tents.

12. The 1812 Overture is famous for its very epic finale, and though the piece was written to celebrate the anniversary of Russia's victory over France in 1812, the piece's finale is very often used for the 4th of July during fireworks displays. This is the entire recording of the piece; to hear the very famous finale, you can listen through the whole thing or fast forward the video to where it begins at 11:30 in the video.
