Napoleon Leading the Army Over the Alps (Kehinde Wiley) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Napoleon Leading the Army Over the Alps (Kehinde Wiley)
''Napoleon Leading the Army over the Alps'' is an equestrian portrait of a youthful black male painted by the contemporary artist Kehinde Wiley in 2005. It is based on Jacques-Louis David’s 1801 equestrian portrait, ''Bonaparte Crossing the Alps''. This painting was chosen by a man who Kehinde had approached in the streets. The basic composition of Wiley's painting is the same as the 200-year-old painting it was based on, and has many of the same elements. The modern painting has a decorative background rather than the battlefield background. ==Background== This painting is very typical of the style of Kehinde Wiley in that it is a monumental painting that incorporates brocade/decorative motif as an element of the background. Many of Kehinde Wiley’s paintings, like ''Napoleon Leading the Army'', begin when he approaches a youthful black man in the streets (often from inner cities in the U.S.) and asks them to model for him. Kehinde then asks them to choose a painting from art history books for their portrait, and photographs them in the appropriate pose before beginning the actual painting, just as he probably did with the man who modeled for Napoleon Leading His Army.〔"Kehinde Wiley FAQ."〕
