"Staging Empire focuses on two landmark paintings that celebrated Napoleon's coronation: Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres's Napoleon I on His Imperial Throne (1806) and Jacques-Louis David's Le Sacre (1805-7). In an unprecedented collaboration, two scholars investigate these masterpieces in their broad cultural context. This book is an illustrated, extensively documented, analytical tour de force. Coronation pictures may seem to be all about the past, but they were produced to guarantee a future of empire whose military, media, and geopolitical practices are still with us today."--BOOK JACKET.
