"Napoleon Leading the Army Over the Alps (Kehinde Wiley) Napoleon Leading the Army over the Alps is an equestrian portrait of a youthful black male painted by the contemporary artist Kehinde Wiley in 2005. It is based on Jacques-Louis David’s 1801 equestrian portrait, ""Napoleon Crossing the Alps"". This painting was chosen by a man who Kehinde had approached in the streets. The basic composition of Wiley's painting is the same as the 200-year-old painting it was based on, and has many of the same elements. The modern painting has a decorative background rather than the battlefield background. This painting is"

The magazine's comments on the work indicated that, while they praised the painting for several of its features, they criticised Delaroche, for various reasons: Some were displeased with Delaroche's work at the time in general, and, in part, ""Bonaparte Crossing the Alps"", criticising what was described as his 'lowered standards in art'.

He 'combined colouristic skill with an interest in detailed scenes from history'.""Bonaparte Crossing the Alps"", which was painted roughly eight years before Delaroche's death, exemplifies this phase in Delaroche's career.

In the hierarchy of genres, religious (history) painting was considered the highest genre of art; Friedrich's use of landscape to evoke a spiritual message was thus controversial, causing debate between proponents of neoclassical ideals and the new German Romanticism of Friedrich and his peers.
