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.

    The Great Sphinx of Giza is one of the most iconic and enigmatic monuments in the world. It stands as a symbol of ancient Egypt's grandeur, captivating historians, archaeologists, and tourists alike. The monument, which lies near the pyramids of Giza, is a colossal limestone statue with the body of a lion and the head of a human, believed to represent the Pharaoh Khafre. Its massive size and mysterious features have sparked fascination and numerous theories about its purpose, creation, and significance throughout history. 
The origins of the Sphinx are shrouded in mystery, with its construction dating back to the Old Kingdom of Egypt, around 2500 BCE. Some scholars believe that the Sphinx was carved during the reign of Pharaoh Khafre, who also commissioned the construction of the second pyramid at Giza. Others propose that the monument predates Khafre's reign, possibly dating back to the reign of his father, Pharaoh Sneferu. While the precise dating remains uncertain, the Sphinx is undoubtedly a product of Egypt's architectural and artistic achievements, built to withstand the test of time. 
The significance of the Sphinx in ancient Egyptian culture is multifaceted. In Egyptian mythology, lions were often associated with strength, power, and protection. The body of the lion, combined with the human head, symbolizes the union of human intelligence and animal strength, a combination that represented the ideal qualities of a ruler. The Sphinx’s location near the pyramids further emphasizes its role as a guardian, watching over the tombs of the pharaohs and ensuring their safe passage into the afterlife. The monument also reflects the Egyptians' reverence for their gods and the divine authority bestowed upon their rulers.
