Hanging under a crimson awning is the formal portrait
of the Russian Emperor Alexander I, the head of the coalition that
opposed Napoleon. The places of honour at his sides are given to his
allies, King Frederick William III of Prussia and Emperor Francis
I of Austria. In the spring of 1814 these sovereigns made a grand
entry into Paris at the head of their forces. In 1815, after Napoleon's
final defeat, Alexander, Frederick William and Francis concluded the
Holy Alliance that was later joined by King Louis XVIII of France. |
