Propagandaschinken | Propaganda Kitsch

            Napoleon am Großen St. Bernhard | Napoleon at the St. Bernhard Pass (1801)
Jacques-Louis David (1748 - 1825)
Oberes Belvedere | Upper Belvedere

The ridiculousness of the idea that one could cross the Alps on a noble steed, performing feats if necessary, shows the kitschy nature of this painting, of which, to make matters worse, there are even five versions in total. In reality, Napoleon crossed the Alps on a mule, which is not ridiculous at all, but simply sensible. But unfortunately, these reliable animals are not suitable for propagandistic hyping.
