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.
Napoleon institutionalized plunder and destruction in a way mostly only known by more primitive invaders. Both he and his generals and soldiers stole incredible amounts of cultural property and wantonly destroyed much more.
Napoleon did leave some durable institutions on which modern France is built upon, including the Napoleonic Code, the judicial system, the central bank and the country's financial organization, military academies, and a centralized university.
