French Campaign, 1814 (French: Campagne de France, 1814, alternative title: 1814) is an oil on wood painting by French painter Ernest Meissonier, created between 1860 and 1864. It is part of his Napoleonic cycle of paintings, with 1807, Friedland and The Morning of Castiglione (unfinished). It represents Napoleon and his military staff during the French Campaign of 1814. It is widely considered Meissonnier's most famous work, and its sale in 1890 reached a record price for a painting by a contemporary artist. It is now held at the Musée d'Orsay, in Paris.[1]
