"Napoleon Crossing the Alps" is an iconic oil on canvas painting by the French artist Jacques-Louis David, which vividly captures Napoleon Bonaparte during his ascent over the Great St. Bernard Pass in May 1800. Commissioned by the King of Spain, the artwork is also known as "Bonaparte Crossing the Alps" and is part of a series of five versions painted by David between 1801 and 1805. Each version of the painting was created for different patrons and varies slightly in detail and composition, reflecting the evolving image of Napoleon and the political circumstances of the time.

The painting is celebrated for its powerful representation of Napoleon, not as a realistic portrayal of the crossing, but as a dramatic and idealized image of leadership and dynamism. Napoleon is depicted astride a rearing horse, pointing towards the mountain summit, symbolizing his determination and the boldness of his military campaign. The artwork is a prime example of the Neoclassical style, characterized by its clarity of form, sober colors, and the use of classical subjects and techniques to convey moral seriousness and heroic ideals.

David's "Napoleon Crossing the Alps" has had a significant impact on the visual culture of the Napoleonic era and remains one of the most recognized images of the French leader. It has been widely reproduced and has influenced numerous other artists and political propagandists. The painting's legacy endures as a testament to the power of art in shaping historical and political narratives. The original versions of the painting are housed in various museums and collections, including the Château de Malmaison, the Palace of Versailles, the Belvedere in Vienna, the Charlottenburg Palace in Berlin, and the Museo Nacional del Prado in Madrid.
