As Emperor of the French from 1804 to 1815, Napoleon embraced the Neoclassical style in order to associate his regime with the empire of ancient Rome. Roman temples were the models for La Madeleine in Paris, which Pierre Vignon built as temple of glory for France`s imperial armies
The roots of Romanticism are in the 18th century, but usually the term more narrowly denotes the artistic movement that flourised from 1800 to 1840, between Neoclassicism and Realism.
