Portrait of Joseph Bonaparte is an 1808 portrait painting by the French artist François Gérard.[1][2] It depicts Joseph Bonaparte, recently created King of Spain, in his coronation robes.[3] Joseph, the elder brother of Napoleon, had been King of Naples until he had been placed on the throne of Spain which triggered the Peninsular War.
Gérard, a neoclassical painter and pupil of Jacques-Louis David, produced a number of depictions of the extended Bonaparte dynasty. Today the painting is in the collection of the Palace of Fontainebleau outside Paris, having been acquired in 1981.[4]
