As a consequence, rather than battles, they were adorned with landscapes or monuments of France, Italy, Egypt, Austria, and Prussia, alluding to his military campaigns. This dessert plate from the service of Napoleon I in the Tuileries shows the castle of Sanssouci, painted by a landscape specialist at the Sèvres factory, Jean-François Robert \(1778-1832\). ## Related artworks - [Bottle-cooler with a Chinese decor]() - [Cameo Service]() - [Cameo-style Plaque: The Battle of Friedland]() - [Cameo-style Plaque: The Conquest of Silesia]() - [Cameo-style Plaque: The Foundation of the Kingdom]() - [Cameo-style Plaque: The Freeing of Dantzig]() - [Cameo-style Plaque: The Three Hanseatic Cities \(Berlin, Warsaw, Königsberg\)]() - [Cameo-style Plaque: Victory of Eylau]() - [Chocolate pot]() - ["Choisy" Flower Basin]() - ["Clodion" Vase]() - ["Clodion" Vase]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
