The things that happen with film, I don't know what here but I like it. It's serendipitous. Two shots overlaid at ninety degrees on a badly smeared 35mm negative film meant that I had to bring the flatbed scanner to the rescue.

The Coronation of Napoleon (Le Sacre de Napoléon) is a painting completed in 1807 by Jacques-Louis David, the official painter of Napoleon, depicting the coronation of Napoleon at Notre-Dame de Paris. The oil painting has imposing dimensions – it is almost 33 feet (10m) wide by a little over 20 feet (6m) tall. The original is, as of this writing, on display at the Louvre Museum in Paris. The work was commissioned by Napoleon in September 1804, and Jacques-Louis David started work on it on 21 December 1805 in the former chapel of the College of Cluny, near the Sorbonne, which served as a workshop. Assisted by his student Georges Rouget, he put the finishing touches in January 1808. The painting remained the property of David until 1819, when it was transferred to the Royal Museums, where it was stored in the reserves until 1837. Then, it was installed in the Chamber Sacre of the museum of the historical Palace of Versailles on the orders of King Louis-Philippe. In 1889, the painting was transferred from Versailles to the Louvre. David was commissioned by American entrepreneurs to paint a full size replica, in 1808, immediately after the release of the original. He began work that year, painting it from memory, but didn't finish until 1822, during his exile in Brussels. The replica was eventually returned to France in 1947, to the original's place in the Palace of Versailles. This photograph is of that replica.

He is nude, with long wavy hair falling on shoulders. On right is an imitation inscription. On the crown of his helmet a row of dots. In front of his shield is an accidental (?) splash of purple.
