"Consecration of the Emperor Napoleon I and the Coronation of the Empress Josephine in the Cathedral of Notre-Dame de Paris on 2 December 1804" is a monumental painting by Jacques-Louis David, the preeminent French painter of the Neoclassical era. Created between 1805 and 1807, this masterpiece is often referred to by its shorter title, "The Coronation of Napoleon." The work was commissioned by Napoleon Bonaparte himself, who sought to immortalize his coronation ceremony, marking his ascension as Emperor of the French.

The painting is remarkable for its grand scale, measuring approximately 10 meters by 6 meters, and is housed in the Louvre Museum, Paris. David's composition captures a pivotal moment in French history with meticulous detail, showcasing not only the opulence and solemnity of the event but also the intricate political and social dynamics at play. The artwork is divided into several detailed sections, with one of the most notable being "detail 3," which focuses on specific, significant figures and elements of the ceremony.

In "detail 3," David pays close attention to the figures of Napoleon and Josephine, as well as the significant act of Napoleon crowning himself, symbolizing his self-made authority, a departure from traditional monarchical power transitions. The artist's masterful use of light, color, and composition brings to life the grandeur and the calculated choreography of the event, while also subtly conveying the complexities of Napoleon's relationship with the church, the state, and his subjects.

Jacques-Louis David's involvement in the event went beyond his role as a painter; he was also responsible for designing the actual ceremony's visual aspects, from the outfits to the decorations, making his paintings an invaluable firsthand account of the historical event. "Consecration of the Emperor Napoleon I" is not only a masterpiece of Neoclassical art but also a significant historical document, offering insight into the ambitions, ideals, and personality of one of history's most iconic figures, Napoleon Bonaparte, through the lens of one of its most talented artists.
