Jacques-Louis David started work on 21 December 1805 in the former chapel of the College of Cluny, near the Sorbonne, which served as a workshop. Assisted by his student Georges Rouget, he put the finishing touches in November 1807.
Some time ago my wife (Cristina Menéndez) started this project with the picture in mind. Her original idea was to sculpt the miniatures herself but after think about it for a while we decided that maybe could be better to work on a conversion as I knew some miniatures that could work for this project.
Cris started the conversion work assited by me and most of the stuff work is at her own. At the end I took the project myself as she hadn't enought time to work on it so final sculpt touches and painting work are mine.
I really enjoyed to work with her but this scene has so many hours and not all of them was funny ones.
This minaiture was rewarded with the Best Napoleonic Minaiture at Monte San Savino 2013
