My friends, what a beautiful head he has. It is pure, it is great, it is as beautiful as the antique.’ Chaudet’s herm-form bust gives permanence to David’s impression, and was the image adopted by Napoleon as his official portrait when he became Emperor. This bust is derived from Chaudet's marble statue of Napoleon, erected at the Palais du Corps Législatif, Paris, in 1805 (which was itself derived from a bust of Napoleon as First Consul, carved by Chaudet in 1799). The original marble of the present bust was a personal commission for Napoleon, the whereabouts of which is unknown. The date of the original model is also uncertain, but a replica in Tours is inscribed ‘Chaudet An XI’ (23 September 1802 to 23 September 1803). Numerous copies of the original model were made in marble (at Carrara) and porcelain (by the Sèvres factory). Bronze copies were cast in Paris for presentation to important persons by the Emperor. This cast of 1808 belonged to Dominique Vivant Denon (1747-1825, Baron from 1812), who had accompanied Napoleon on his Egyptian campaign in 1798-99, and was appointed Directeur géneral des musées français in 1804. A year after his death when his collection was sold by auction, the bust was acquired by Horatio Walpole, 3rd Earl of Orford (1783-1860). reference term-106498 adlib-term-106498 272179a1-524b-3f36-aab7-bf342ce484d6 19th Century, Early reference term-14259 adlib-term-14259 7f4fe040-3828-37de-a702-77987273434f First Empire reference term-118765 adlib-term-118765 b02ebd05-0061-30cb-bdd6-97a813a161e6 Napoleon I reference term-129470 adlib-term-129470 8353db27-fba9-33c1-94a1-f268fd2a2d21 literal France France country Paris reference term-40365 adlib-term-40365 d79c75c2-da7b-3187-918e-f7a374e04005 bronze Diameter cm 26 Height cm 57 Width cm 30.5 reference media-11959 adlib-media-11959 b53e633d-1f52-317c-b045-502cbf1c0a6f jpeg aa/aa19/M_1_1866.jpg 1 height pixels 760 width pixels 477 1702926410144 1 image jpeg aa/aa19/M_1_1866.jpg 1 height pixels 760 width pixels 477 1702926410144 1 image jpeg aa/aa19/M_1_1866.jpg 1 height pixels 760 width pixels 477 1702926410144 1 image jpeg aa/aa19/preview_M_1_1866.jpg 1 height pixels 398 width pixels 250 1702926410144 1 image 0 media image reference media-1519651964 portfolio portfolio-media-1519651964 b782fa1b-1f1a-36f9-bdd6-9ef3802f26dc jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/460/186/large_M_1_1866_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 1511 width pixels 1024 1529284069000 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/460/186/mid_M_1_1866_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 738 width pixels 500 1529284069000 1 image M.1-1866_mas.tif 1529284069000 1 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/460/186/preview_M_1_1866_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 369 width pixels 250 1529284069000 1 image pyramid tiff portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/460/186/M_1_1866_mas.ptif 1 height pixels 5107 width pixels 3460 1529284069000 1 image 1 media image reference media-3700157875 portfolio portfolio-media-3700157875 ac0b8a15-76f4-3d17-82d3-92d2397bc716 jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/626/842/large_M_1_1866_dc1.jpg 1 height pixels 1512 width pixels 1024 1550048737000 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/626/842/mid_M_1_1866_dc1.jpg 1 height pixels 738 width pixels 500 1550048737000 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/626/842/M_1_1866_dc1.jpg 1 height pixels 5106 width pixels 3459 1550048737000 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/626/842/preview_M_1_1866_dc1.jpg 1 height pixels 369 width pixels 250 1550048737000 1 image 2 media image reference term-23035 adlib-term-23035 f9693b6b-2e4a-3666-acf8-973403f65fce bust history note Baron Dominque Vivant Denon (1747-1825); sold Paris, 1826; L.J.J.
