Pierre-Paul Prud'hon1811

Fondazione Museo Glauco Lombardi

The canvas, imbued with neo-Correggesque references, presents the little Francesco Napoleone as he sleeps in a forest: plant elements and colors take on symbolic value. A similar version of Prud’hon is also kept at the Musée du Louvre in Paris.
