Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821) continues to fascinate even today, more than 200 years after his death. His legacy is shown in beautiful paintings.
He was an unrivalled general, although he did make occasional mistakes both on the tactical and the strategic level  -the most significant was his attack on Russia, which annihilated most of his Grande Armée and led to his downfall.
Napoleon institutionalized plunder and destruction in a way mostly only known by more primitive invaders. Both he and his generals and soldiers stole incredible amounts of cultural property and wantonly destroyed much more
Napoleon did leave some durable institutions on which modern France is built up, including the Napoleonic Code, the judicial system, the central bank and the country's financial organization, military academies, and a centralized university. 

We hope the readers will enjoy our selection and the activity. We hope it will contribute to a better understanding of Napoleon, his time and of art itself.

Robert Craig Knievel (October 17, 1938 - November 30, 2007), known as Evel Knievel, was an American stunt performer and entertainer, born in Butte, Montana. Throughout his career, he attempted more than 75 ramp-to-ramp motorcycle jumps. Knievel's most famous stunts include a 1967 jump over the fountains at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas, which infamously resulted in severe injuries, and a September 8, 1974, attempt to jump across the Snake River Canyon in Idaho using a rocket-powered cycle called the Skycycle X-2. The jump failed after the parachute deployed prematurely, but Knievel survived with minor injuries. The following recordings are from interviews in 1970, 1972, 1974, and in 1975 after Knievel jumped 14 Greyhound buses.
