Works by François Gérard (1770-1837), in the public domain, each linked to its record in the museum that holds it. Born in Rome, a pupil of Jacques-Louis David, he made his name at the Salon with Belisarius and Cupid and Psyche, became the most sought-after portraitist of the Empire and then of the Restoration, and painted the Battle of Austerlitz for Napoleon. Only works that the museums give to him without reservation, neither workshop pieces nor attributions, and of which a freely reusable photograph exists, are included. Several portraits are small reduced versions painted by Gérard himself after his full-size portraits, held at the Palace of Versailles. For the works at Versailles, which have no stable address on the palace's website, the link leads to their record in the official database of the French Ministry of Culture (POP). The titles are those of the museums, with their translation.
