Why? What's wrong with meowpoleon?
The scene in the painting is of Napoleon after he had definitely done something.
Napoleon, despite the whole "overthrowing republic in favour of monarchy" thing is considered to be one of the main reasons the ideals of the Revolution managed to stick in Europe. Napoleonic Code was a piece of legislation far more progressive than most of that era, and continued to be used in many countries that were subservient to Napoleonic France until the 20th century.
Ah yes, he was a very progressive emperor, I'm very smart :3
