Answer:

This painting portraits Napoleon as a great leader, and general. David's artwork tried to capture the essence of a complete politician. So, represents the glory of a great political conqueror.

Step-by-step explanation:

When we look at this painting, we can see Napoleon stand imponent, highlighted in the canvas. David portraited the leader in full-body, and if you look with attention, it is visible that Napoleon is bigger than usual. This was a technique used to promote the exaltation of the portrayed individual.
