What did Napoleon really look like?
We've all seen some of the famous portraits of Napoleon by leading artists of the day, but how accurate are they?
Independent art historian Simon Abrahams writes: "Anyone interested in Napoleon may be intereted in how the most well-known portraits of the Emperor (by Ingres, David, Gros and Delaroche) look as much like the artist as the man himself. Indeed the discovery raises questions as to what Napoleon really looked like. See the visual comparisons for yourself at my website: www.artscholar.org."

u have it wrong he looks like the picture because he small
He wasn't small. Every time someone loses a war they say they were small for some reason. For example, Hitler and Napoleon were both above average height.
