Facts

Many people have seen portraits that were painted of the emperor, always in the same position: turned slightly to the side and hand placed in the front of his jacket. Some people speculate that this position was customary for those in power, a power stance, if you will. Others on the other hand state that this position was due to Napoleon's chronic stomach pain, caused by the stomach ulcer that allegedly eventually took his life.

Also, Napoleon was the first person quoted saying the phrase
"a picture is worth a thousand words."
