"Apotheose Napoleons" (also known as "The Apotheosis of Napoleon") is a notable fresco by the Italian painter Andrea Appiani the Elder (1754–1817), who was the premier neoclassical artist in Milan during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. This work, created in the neoclassical style, is a significant example of the period's imperial iconography and reflects the political climate of the era, particularly the widespread influence of Napoleon Bonaparte across Europe.

The fresco, which glorifies Napoleon, was commissioned to commemorate the French leader's achievements and to solidify his status as a heroic and almost divine figure. Appiani, who was appointed as the official painter of the Napoleonic Kingdom of Italy, utilized allegorical elements and classical references to exalt Napoleon within the visual narrative of the fresco. The artwork typically features Napoleon being welcomed by mythological figures or personifications of virtues, which serves to elevate his status to that of a demigod or hero of antiquity.

The exact date of the fresco's creation and its original location may vary according to historical records, but it is often associated with Appiani's work in the Palazzo Reale in Milan, where he decorated several rooms. The fresco's current condition and accessibility to the public can depend on the preservation efforts and exhibition policies of the institution housing the artwork.

As a prominent example of Napoleonic art, "Apotheose Napoleons" is an important piece for understanding the role of visual arts in political propaganda and the dissemination of imperial ideology. It also offers insight into Andrea Appiani's mastery of fresco technique and his contribution to the neoclassical movement, which sought to revive the aesthetics and values of classical antiquity.

The fresco's significance in art history is underscored by its reflection of the political dynamics of its time, the artist's close relationship with the Napoleonic regime, and the broader European cultural milieu that it influenced. "Apotheose Napoleons" remains a subject of study for art historians and scholars interested in the intersection of art, politics, and history during the Napoleonic era.
