Napoleonic paintings

...paradoxically starts out as a Royal informal dress becomes the dress of the French Revolutionary period. The kind of icon figure of the late 1790’s – turn of the century – was Madame Recamier by David and there she sits on her chez long, looking very neo-classical, in beautiful white Indian muslin.
