Since his coronation as emperor in 1804, Napoleon had numerous official portraits made of himself, which he generously gave away to allied regents, deserving marshals or ministers. In this official state portrait, Napoleon legitimized his imperial dignity through insignia like those of the Roman Emperor, Charlemagne and the French monarchy.
