<em>Napoleon Crossing the Alps</em> (also known as <em>Napoleon at the Saint-Bernard Pass</em> or <em>Bonaparte Crossing the Alps</em>) is the title given to the five versions of an oil on canvas equestrian portrait of Napoleon Bonaparte painted by the French artist Jacques-Louis David between 1801 and 1805. Initially commissioned by the king of Spain, the composition shows a strongly idealized view of the real crossing that Napoleon and his army made across the Alps through the Great St. Bernard Pass in May 1800.
