Medium: Oil on wood panel

Description

Dressed as a general of the French Revolution, Napoleon stands outside Cairo, on a road lined with Mamluk mausoleums from the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. He surveys the city. Napoleon arrived in Egypt with his generals in 1798 and attempted to add this land to France’s growing empire. The British defeated the French navy at the Battle of the Nile, one of the greatest naval disasters of all time, and put an end to his dreams of expansion to Africa. At the moment shown, this event is in the future.
