The Entry of Napoleon into Berlin is an 1810 painting by the French artist Charles Meynier.[1][2] It depicts the entry of the French Emperor Napoleon into the Prussian capital Berlin on 27 October 1806, following his victory at the Battle of Jena. The Fall of Berlin marked a high point in the success of Napoleon and he issued the Berlin Decree from the city, implementing the Continental System aimed at strangling European trade with the United Kingdom.
