"A Pair of Coronation Portraits of Emperor Napoleon I and Empress Josephine" is a notable set of paintings by the French artist Jacques-Louis David, who is widely regarded as the preeminent painter of the Neoclassical era. These portraits were commissioned to commemorate the coronation of Napoleon Bonaparte and his wife Josephine de Beauharnais, which took place on December 2, 1804, at Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris. The coronation marked the establishment of the First French Empire with Napoleon declaring himself Emperor of the French, a significant moment in European history.

Jacques-Louis David, already famous for his history paintings and his active role in the French Revolution, was appointed the First Painter to the Emperor and was tasked with capturing this grand event. The portraits are part of a larger series of works that depict various aspects of the coronation ceremony, including the famous painting "The Coronation of Napoleon" which is housed in the Louvre Museum.

The pair of portraits show Napoleon and Josephine in their coronation robes, adorned with the regalia that signifies their imperial status. Napoleon is typically depicted in his coronation attire, wearing the laurel wreath reminiscent of the Roman emperors and holding the scepter of Charlemagne. Josephine's portrait complements that of her husband, showcasing her elegance and the splendor of her coronation dress and jewels.

David's mastery of form and his ability to convey the political significance of the moment through art are evident in these works. The portraits not only serve as a historical record of the event but also as a means of propaganda, reinforcing Napoleon's legitimacy and the grandeur of his reign. The paintings are exemplary of David's style, characterized by its classical clarity, precision of form, and controlled use of color.

The exact location of these specific portraits is not universally documented, as David produced multiple works related to the coronation. However, his paintings are spread across various museums and collections worldwide. The significance of these portraits lies not only in their artistic merit but also in their historical value, providing insight into the pageantry and power dynamics of the Napoleonic era.
