资源简介：
This bust of late French Emperor Napoleon was made ca 1850, when his nephew and heir Napoleon III had just accessed power (1852). Therefore one may suppose that such a creation had a political purpose, by reminding the people of the great heritage of the current Emperor, and justifying his legitimacy in this position. Napoleon is presented with many attributes of power: the crown of laurels of course, a reference to the past glory of Roman Emperors, and his rich clothing, a reference to the present glory of his newly acquired nobility.
