By emphasizing the figures of Napoleon and Francis I, Gros highlights the contrast between the victorious and the vanquished, while also reflecting on the broader implications of the battle for Europe's future. The painting is a masterpiece of the Romantic era, showcasing Gros's skill in capturing the emotions, personalities, and the grandeur of historical events.
