"Portrait of Jérôme Bonaparte, 1784-1860, King of Westphalia" is an oil painting by the French artist Baron François Gérard, a prominent portraitist of the First French Empire. Jérôme Bonaparte was the youngest brother of Napoleon Bonaparte and was made King of Westphalia by the emperor from 1807 to 1813. The portrait is a significant historical artifact, reflecting the political dynamics and the propagation of imperial imagery during the Napoleonic era.

François Gérard (1770–1837), known as Baron Gérard, was one of the most esteemed portrait painters of his time, having gained favor with the French aristocracy and the imperial family. His portraits are known for their elegance, attention to detail, and the ability to capture the character and stature of his sitters. The portrait of Jérôme Bonaparte is no exception, showcasing Gérard's skill in rendering the regal bearing and the finery befitting a monarch.

The painting depicts Jérôme in royal regalia, possibly during the height of his reign as the monarch of the Kingdom of Westphalia, a state created by Napoleon as part of the reorganization of German territories following the Treaty of Tilsit. The portrait would have served not only as a personal likeness but also as a symbol of the Bonaparte dynasty's power and the political reshaping of Europe under Napoleon's influence.

As a work of art, the portrait is an example of the neoclassical style that dominated French painting at the time, characterized by its clarity, smoothness of finish, and an emphasis on idealized beauty. Gérard's technique and the historical significance of his subject matter make this portrait an important piece for both art historians and scholars of the Napoleonic period.

The "Portrait of Jérôme Bonaparte, 1784-1860, King of Westphalia" is not only a testament to Gérard's artistic legacy but also a valuable primary source for understanding the visual culture of the Napoleonic era and the role of portraiture in the construction of political identity.
