My favorite art piece is indisputably the Charlottenburg version of Napoleon Crossing the Alps by Jacques Louis David. I think that the "original" is very good as well. I like the face much better in the Cherlottenburg version, as well as the red cape, but I don't like that everything has a brown tint to it. the blue part of his outfir is too dark, but in the "original" version, the blue is perfect, and the horse is nicer as well. there are 4 versions and I was wondering if anyone would like to share their opinions on which version they think is the best.
