Napoleon and Josephine
I love them, they are my favourite couple ever since I studied French history at middle school. I know that she probably didn't love him at the beginning of the marriage, they cheated on each other and broke up, but I also know that they remained good friends after the divorce, and I like to think that they might have cleared up and gotten back together, if an afterlife exists (I hope so). I know that I probably have strange ideas, because the majority of people doesn't ship real people or people dead for 200 years.
Sorry for this outburst, but I didn't know any other place to express myself, I was a bit afraid of other people's judgments馃槄
Ps. I think that "Summertime Sadness" by Lana Del Rey is good for them (or maybe "I wanna be yours" by Arctic Monkeys)
CREDITS: I found this beautiful drawing on Pinterst, published by "Cecilia", but this work was drawn by rivaldii

Court Suit
c.1810
France
This three piece suit is exemplary of skilled French embroidery and the silhouette of men's court wear during the time of Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821). Bonaparte revived the importance of court traditions when he crowned himself Emperor in 1804. This revival necessitated the recreation of acceptable court dress, which had been defunct since the elaborate and costly court of Louis XVI (1754-1793) prior to the French Revolution. The intricate embroidery pattern is intriguingly mimicked between the waistcoat and coat, reinforcing its status as a full suit. (The MET)

Rating portraits of Napoleon as if they were fashion photoshoots
Tumblr media
He does the job and shows off his outfit properly, and poses as if he's on a battlefield to show off his military fashion, but his blank facial expression ruins the moment. Look at those eyes. He looks tired, and that is not a good look. 6/10.
Tumblr media
Once again, he shows off the outfit well, but he looks very tired and almost bored - and this time, he doesn't even have an exciting battlefield backdrop, only a boring office! He is yet to learn how to slay. 3/10.
Tumblr media
Now THIS is a good one. He's looking at the camera. He's posing dramatically. He's showing off his trendy hat. I am mildly concerned for his horse, but we're talking about Napoleon here. 10/10.
Tumblr media
Boring and unimaginative pose (although I suppose he is showing the fact that his outfit has pockets, which is important information for anyone wishing to buy a Napoleon outfit). At least he's looking at the camera. But overall, this picture just lacks any drama. He learned how to slay, and now he neglects his newfound abilities? Disappointing. 3/10.
Tumblr media
It would be hard not to look good with this fancy outfit! Look, he's even holding a sceptre to show how regal he is! His face looks a little blank and soulless, but combined with his fancy clothing it makes him look powerful and imposing rather than tired. 8/10.
Tumblr media
Napoleon has finally mastered the art of dramatic posing. You can practically feel the drama radiating from this picture. ...However. He looks very, very grumpy, not in a grumpy-resting-face way, but in a genuinely angry way. But at least he's learned how to make facial expressions for his photoshoots! Who knows, maybe his grumpy appearance is part of his artistic vision! I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. 9/10.

"You wrote to me once, listing the four chief virtues: Wisdom, justice, fortitude and temperance. As I read the list, I knew I had none of them. But I have other virtues, father. Ambition." - Joaquin Phoenix as Commodus (Gladiator, 2000)
