"Portrait of Napoleon Bonaparte as First Consul, holding a sabre" is a notable painting by Andrea Appiani the Elder (1754–1817), an acclaimed Italian neoclassical painter. Created during a significant period in French history, this artwork captures Napoleon Bonaparte, a pivotal figure in European politics, in his role as the First Consul of France, a position he held from 1799 to 1804 before crowning himself Emperor.

Appiani, renowned for his frescoes and portraits, was appointed as the official painter of the Napoleonic Kingdom of Italy, which reflects the prestige he held in his time. In this portrait, Napoleon is depicted with a sabre, symbolizing his military prowess and leadership during the tumultuous times following the French Revolution. The painting is executed in the Neoclassical style, which was prevalent in Europe at the turn of the 19th century and is characterized by its emphasis on simplicity, symmetry, and an homage to the arts of the classical world.

The portrait not only serves as a representation of Napoleon's personal power and the authority of his office but also as a testament to Appiani's skill in capturing the essence of his subjects. The work is significant for its historical context, artistic merit, and as a piece that contributes to the visual legacy of one of history's most famous leaders. It remains an important artifact for both art historians and those studying the Napoleonic era.
