David was a well-known and well respected French painter, and Napoleon admired his work. Similarly, David was an admirer of Napoleon. Back in those days, Photography had not been invented, so a famous person who wanted to preserve his or her image for future generations would usually hire a great artist to paint a portrait. That is why Napoleon asked David to paint his picture, so that he would be remembered in the future as a great and important leader.
