Sacre de l'empereur Napoléon ^Ier et couronnement de l'impératrice Joséphine dans la cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris, le 2 décembre 1804) is a picture painted between 1805 and 1807 by Jacques-Louis David, Napoleon ^I's official painter, depicting one of the coronation ceremonies. Imposing in its dimensions, almost ten meters by more than six, the painting is preserved in the Louvre. An almost identical replica entitled Le Couronnement de l'empereur, begun by David in 1808 and completed during the painter's exile in Brussels, hangs in the Salle du Sacre at the Château de Versailles. The coronation and coronation ceremony took place at Notre-Dame de Paris.
