Inspired by a sculpture of Napoleon I by Antoine Denis Chaudet (1763-1810), each replica is a work of art in itself.
A bust full of history and symbols
This Napoleon as Caesar or Hermes is inspired by the Roman tradition representing with a braided laurel wreath, the generals having defeated the enemies of Rome.
The appearance of laurels on the bust of the Emperor embodies the victorious, glorious and peacemaking man both on a military and civil level while symbolizing his continuity with the tradition of the Roman and Carolingian empires of Charlemagne.
It is in this logic that Chaudet represented Napoleon.
We selected this model because it fully represents and symbolizes an era in French history about which we are passionate.
Inspired by ancient Rome and Greek philosophy, France, as well as the intellectual and artistic elites of the time, needed new cultural references to place the emerging power in the continuity of the history of our country. This allowed the new power to free itself from the royal narrative upon the death of Louis XVI.
Thus emerges neo-classicism with a new generation of artists including Jacques-Louis David who will become the most famous of the Emperor's painters and whose painting of the Coronation, imbued with Roman symbolism, perfectly embodies continuity and glory of the new empire.
