Napoleon Bonaparte 🇫🇷

Listen for free

View show details

Please welcome to the fireside Dr. Nicole Cochrane (@tinyhistorian), an expert on the histories of art, archaeology, and occasionally Napoleon Bonaparte. In anticipation of the upcoming Napoleon biopic (directed by Ridley Scott and starring Joaquin Phoenix and Vanessa Kirby), Nicole gives us a brief introduction as to who Napoleon was, what he did, and why the heck he's so famous. 🇫🇷

We break down a number of myths (e.g., did he really shoot the nose off of the Sphinx), quote Abba's classic "Waterloo," and - most importantly - discuss the intentionality of his image creation. 📸

This final episode of Season One of the Fireside Thesis is not one to miss! 🎧

As always: stay curious, stay cozy. 🔥

N.B. This episode features a clip from the Napoleon trailer. The full-length trailer can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OAZWXUkrjPc
