B5302 From the first days of the Consulate onwards, Napoleon re-established and reinterpreted the symbols and formalities of monarchical France. For the Coronation, as for French kings of old, a sumptuous Livre du sacre (Book of the Coronation) was produced by the greatest artists of the period; and for the ceremony itself the old coronation rituals (the papal one for crowning emperors and the royal one from Rheims) were fused with modern adaptations, creating a liturgy quite unlike any other before. 111 © COPYRIGHT This document remains the property of the National Gallery of Victoria and must be returned upon request.
