This artwork is significant for its detailed depiction of the events that led to the end of the French Directory, the political regime that followed the Reign of Terror, and the establishment of the Consulate with Napoleon as its leader.

Jean Duplessis-Bertaux (1750–1818) was a French engraver and draughtsman known for his historical and political scenes, particularly those documenting the French Revolution and the Napoleonic era. His works are characterized by their attention to detail and their commitment to capturing the spirit of the times. "Coup d'État of 18 Brumaire" is no exception, as it provides a visual narrative of the tense and dramatic overthrow of the Directory.

The engraving is a valuable historical document, offering insights into the events of the coup and the figures involved. It portrays the moment when Napoleon, surrounded by his loyal soldiers, confronted the Council of Five Hundred at the Château de Saint-Cloud. The artwork captures the chaos and confusion of the scene, with deputies fleeing and soldiers asserting control, thus symbolizing the transfer of power from a civilian government to a military dictatorship.

As an important piece of historical art, "Coup d'État of 18 Brumaire" has been studied by historians and art historians alike for its portrayal of the events and its influence on the visual culture of the period. It remains an essential reference for understanding the iconography of power and revolution in post-revolutionary France.
