Beschreibungen/Notizen

• English Presents and analyzes a previously unpublished project drawing by Antolini (Paris, Institut de France, Bibliothèque) for a monument in the Foro Bonaparte, Milan, commemorating Napoléon I's victory at the Battle of Marengo. Discusses the chronology (1800-1806) of the project for the monument, observing that Antonio Canova was commissioned for the sculptural group (showing Napoléon crowned by a Victory). Suggests that although Antolini's project was never executed, it influenced other celebrative monuments for Napoléon in Milan, including temporary decorations and a monument by Paolo Bargigli, projects by Felice Giani, and proposals (1804) for a monument to Napoléon by the Consulta di Governo della Repubblica Italiana on the occasion of his coronation as emperor.
