The June Century, Napoleon in Egypt 1895

Eugène Grasset's 1895 poster "Napoleon in Egypt" depicts the French emperor on horseback, gesturing towards the pyramids in the distance. Grasset, a prominent Art Nouveau artist, uses bold lines and decorative details, emphasizing the drama and grandeur of Napoleon's military campaign. The striking use of color, particularly the red and white of the French flag, contributes to the poster's strong visual impact. The artwork, which originally appeared in the June issue of the American magazine "The Century," is a striking example of the Art Nouveau style's influence on commercial design.
