he was made famous for a painting he commisioned where he's on a horse that's standing on it's hindlegs. It a great painting actually. it was to commemorate him crossing the alps. napoleon requested that he be painted riding on a horse rather than the mule that he used.
what a fake. a great propaganda though

cuz he couldnt walk, but could ride horse lol
but that picture napoleon on horse, he was actually on donkey, but the artist made it white horse to make him look cooler.
reason why he was on horse is cuz the had to go through mountains, and donkey was better than horse..

I think this is some sort of joke as Napolean was a small man (only 5'3") and suffered from "little man syndrome"
