this Napoleon painting went for a lot of money:

Does it really look all that well done to you? I don't think the auctioneer even gets the artist name correct. Hippolyte is his middle name.

 

isnt it just a copy of Delaroche's famous painting:

Went to the auctioneers site; interesting. While on that site I did notice a couple of Iris flower oil paintings. They are "valued" at quite a lot, so for me I will just continue to enjoy the Iris I have in my garden. On these two, I don't think the auctioneer even gets the artist name correct as well.

I'd say that's quite a Lot for not the greatest Napoleon copy!!!
