Napoleonic Twitter-verse, let’s keep sharing and retweeting until we break the internet. If “Napoleon” succeeds, it may lead to movies/documentaries on other heroes from the era - Wellington, Nelson, Davout, Ney, those Dutch engineers who built the bridge at Beresina. #Napoleon

How accurate were Napoleonic Era muskets? According to Colonel George Hanger, "A soldier's musket...will strike the figure of a man at 80 yards; it may even at a hundred, but....as to firing at a man at 200 yards with a common musket, you may just as well fire at the moon."

#MasterpieceMonday "Marshal Ney Supporting the Rear Guard during the Retreat from Moscow" by Adolphe Yon, 1856. Everything in this portrait suggests chaos and desperation except for Ney's calm demeanor. It is an amazing example of bringing art to life. #ney

#MasterpieceMonday King Louis XVI’s Tuileries Palace, massacring his Swiss Guard by Maurice Réalier-Dumas (1888), a young Napoleon was a witness to the storming of the palace, and was appalled by the massacre of soldiers, who had been ordered not to fire on the crowd. Thoughts?

Escorting the colors was a dangerous job. Per William Lawrence, British 40th Foot: "I was ordered to the colours. This...was a job I did not like at all; but I still went as boldly to work as I could. There had been before me....14 sergeants already killed & wounded." #napoleon

Hubris in action. Members of the Prussian Guard sharpening their swords on the steps of the French embassy in Berlin. This same group was paraded by the same embassy after their humbling at Jena-Auerstadt in 1806. Augereau ignored their pleas to avoid this after their surrender.

The talented Archduke Charles of Austria. I've seen a few comments on social media about his worn-down appeaarance in this portrait. For the record, this is EXACTLY how I would look if I had faced Napoleon 6 times in battle.

#MasterpieceMonday "Portrait of the Duke of Wellington" by Goya, 1814. Do you know the crazy history? It was stolen from a gallery in 1961 and a copy was featured in the 1962 James Bond film, Dr. No. It appears as decoration in Dr. No's lair. The thief returned the art in 1965.

A shirtless General Macard leading a cavalry charge. According to Marbot, the general would remove his shirt & vest on charges, “I’m going to dress like a beast!” Opponents would dash away “scarcely knowing if they had a man to deal with or some strange wild animal.” #generals

#MasterpieceMonday - "Napoleon in the Prison of Nice, 1794" by Edward Matthew Ward (1841). If you look closely, he is looking at a map of Italy. It also shows how quickly life can change - 10 years after his imprisonment, Napoleon would be crowned Emperor. Thoughts on this one?
