Napoleon: In the Name of Art (2022)
Directed by Giovanni Piscaglia
Overview
After Jesus Christ, Napoleon is the most famous man in history. The documentary tells how Bonaparte’s passion - sometimes Bonaparte’s obsession - for art and knowledge, has changed the face of modern culture: from the birth of schools, libraries and public museums (including Brera and the Louvre) to foundation of Egyptology thanks to the Egyptian campaign, from the extraordinary archaeological discoveries to the looting of works of art, up to the paintings and sculptures dedicated to him.
Length 100 minutes
