    It turns out that there are five different versions of this painting. I’ve seen the one in Charlottenburg Palace (Berlin), which is very impressive (and BIG).

    I suppose that this makes sense to my American friends. I had to look up “Arby’s”.

    2 URLs (copy each as one line):

     

    https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Napoleon_Crossing_Alps_copy_Rouget_1840.jpg

     

    (best viewed by Google Chrome – can automatically translate most pages if necessary) has info and links that point to info about this painting.

     

    http://www.philatelia.net/bonapart/artists/?more=1&id=162

     

    has info about this artist. 

    As Kilby points out, there are 5 different versions of the painting. But, to be clear, all 5 were by David (1748-1825), this artist’s teacher. In 1840, Louis Phillippe I (1773-1850), King of France (1830-1848), commissioned the artist to paint this copy of the 2nd Versailles version, for its current-location (pointed to by the first URL).

     

    Again, a larger strip image is shown by clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #1757 (July 23, 2017) blog entry, accessible by the Check out the blog! box after the last comment; so, I won’t point to it here.

    This is me! I swear to God, this is me! They’ve closed all the Arby’s stores in our town and now I have to drive to the sticks for my Arby’s.

    In a situation like that, I’ll take a good mule. At least they know the rule for man or beast is three points of contact with the ground at all times – especially when you are centimeters from a drop-off behind you. Heroic poses are no substitute for reliability.
