The painting depicts Napoleon making a bold statement of crossing the Alps in inclement weather. The facts of the crossing are that the weather was fine the day of the crossing and Napoleon did not lead the troops across; he was taken across with the help of guides.
David's painting "Death of Marat" conveys a call to revolutionary action. It depicts the assassination of the revolutionary leader Jean-Paul Marat, emphasizing themes of martyrdom and sacrifice for the cause of the French Revolution. The dramatic composition and emotional intensity serve to inspire viewers and reinforce revolutionary ideals. In contrast, "Oath of Horatii" portrays themes of patriotism and sacrifice, while "Napoleon Crossing the Saint-Bernard" focuses on leadership and heroism.
'Bonaparte Crossing the Alps at Mont Saint Bernard' represents a turning point in David's work in that he is showing his hypocrisy- whereas the artist once showed his allegiance to the struggling working classes in pieces such as "The Death of Marat", he is now creating art for and about the tyranny, soon given the title "First Artist of the Empire" by Napoleon himself.
