Portrait of Joachim Murat, King of Naples, c1808. Baron Gros, one of the most highly regarded artists in France at the beginning of the 19th century, bridged the gap between classical painting and the romantic movement in his naturalistically rendered, emotionally charged works depicting contemporary events, particularly battle scenes. He served Emperor Napoleon I as well as the succeeding Bourbon monarchs Louis XVIII and Charles X.
