Napoleon Bonaparte

Every history enthusiast around the globe is undoubtedly acquainted with Napoleon Bonaparte, the Emperor of France reigning from 1804 to 1814. Napoleon’s stature is a topic often discussed; he’s famously believed to have stood at 5 feet and 6 inches tall. However, historical records sometimes propose he might have been as diminutive as 4 feet 10 inches. Due to contradictory accounts scattered across the Internet, the precise extent of his shortness will likely remain elusive. Nevertheless, his facial features are well-documented.

The majority of his busts and portraits exhibit remarkable consistency in depicting his countenance. One such portrait, titled “The Emperor Napoleon in His Study at the Tuileries,” was crafted by Jacques-Louis David in 1812.
