This Jacques-Louis David portrait of "Bonaparte Crossing the Alps at Grand-Saint-Bernard" (currently on loan to
The Getty for their David: Empire to Exhile exhibit) rocked my world today. Stop by The Getty between now and April 24 to see this and other Napoleonic-era paintings by David and try to arrange your visit to coincide with a group tour of the exhibit. The one-room Images of Violence in the Medieval World, which closes this Sunday, made quite an impression as well in its own way.
