Although this Image is ment to show the Coronation in Notre-Dame de Paris, the building in the background definetly is'nt a gothic Cathedral. As far as I know Notre-Dame never ever had a neoclassicist marble interieur? Why did David change the building and what was his model?-- ( talk) 09:29, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
In the section Characters, specifically Maria Letizia Ramolino: the Louvre audio guide(confiramtion needed) mentions that Napolean had her specifically included in the painting. Also, the same guide(again confirmation welcome) mentions that initially the painting was supposed to depict Napolean crowning himself, but was later changed to show him crowning Josephine. And in the space (which was created by the resulting change in his stance) a new figure (the man immediately to the right of Napolean in the paiting?) was added-a figure with facial features said to resemble those of Julius Ceaser.

I think the timeline of display as listed here is incorrect. Ludwig Boerne's letters from Paris (specifically Feb 28, 1831) describe seeing the painting restored to a place of glory in the salon (after having been taken down with the rise of the people). This isn't really my field, so I'm not going to edit the actual page, but am writing this in hopes that someone with actual expertise--or more interest in tracking down the painting's history of display than I have--will jump in and make the appropriate changes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.20.11.114 ( talk) 06:10, 26 January 2014 (UTC)
Can it be the main message is: I am now so powerful I can even crown my own wife? — Preceding unsigned comment added by RobAaldijk ( talk • contribs) 08:43, 4 May 2022 (UTC)
