"Portrait of Napoleon Bonaparte, his hands resting on the hilt of a sword, before a landscape" is a notable artwork by Andrea Appiani the Elder (1754–1817), who was an acclaimed Italian neoclassical painter. Appiani held the title of the premier painter at the court of Napoleon in Italy, and his works are considered some of the most significant visual representations of the Napoleonic era. This particular portrait is celebrated for its depiction of Napoleon Bonaparte, the prominent military and political leader who rose to prominence during the French Revolution and later became Emperor of the French.

The painting captures Napoleon in a moment of contemplative repose, with his hands gracefully resting on the hilt of his sword, symbolizing both his military prowess and his role as a statesman. The inclusion of a landscape in the background serves to place Napoleon within a broader geographical context, perhaps alluding to his expansive empire or military campaigns. Appiani's mastery of form and his ability to convey the psychological depth of his subjects are evident in this portrait, which showcases his skill in the neoclassical style that emphasized clarity, order, and harmony.

The portrait is significant not only for its artistic merits but also for its historical value, as it provides insight into the iconography surrounding Napoleon and the ways in which he was visually represented during his lifetime. Appiani's portrayal contributes to the understanding of the construction of Napoleon's image and the role of art in shaping the legacy of historical figures. The painting remains an important piece for both art historians and scholars of the Napoleonic era, reflecting the intersection of art, politics, and power during a transformative period in European history.
