Answer to Question 1
After the French Revolution, much chaos ensued as various factions tried to control the civil unrest that followed. Out of this chaos rose Napoleon Bonaparte, an army general with grand plans to unify Europe under his control. As he conquered nation after nation, he brought the revolutionary ideals of liberty, fraternity, and equality to his new empire. He abolished serfdom, expropriated Church possessions, curtailed feudal privileges, and introduced French laws, institutions, and influence. Napoleon's ambitious idealism lifted him as the nineteenth century's first Romantic hero, glorified in numerous European poems and paintings, and especially in the majestic portraits of Jacques-Louis David, his favorite artist.
Napoleon had many qualities that typify the Romantic personality: self-conscious individualism, a sense of personal power, unbridled egotism, and a high regard for the life of the imagination. His embodiment of the Romantic hero inspired countless paintings, sculptures, and even musical compositions, created in his name.
