Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821) continues to fascinate even today, more than 200 years after his death. His legacy is shown in beautiful paintings. He was an unrivalled general, although he did make occasional mistakes both on the tactical and the strategic level - the most significant was his attack on Russia, which annihilated most of his Grande Armée and led to his downfall. One of the most fascinating periods of his caréer was his expedition to Egypt 1797-1801 and the most important incident here was the discovery of the Rosetta Stone, which allowed the deciphering of the Egyptian old writing, the hieroglyphs. The Muslims had chopped it up and used it as building material at Fort St Julien. This workbook invites readers to do their own short art analysis, historical analysis and write it down as notes on the blank pages next to the artwork. It can also be used in a group or classroom setting. It can be great fun when used for training in the English language conversation in a group setting. You can add your answers or add your own questions in the blank space. We hope the readers will enjoy our selection and the activity. We hope it will contribute to a better understanding of Napoleon, his time and of art itself.
