In 1811, this work was copied in bronze at the request of the Righetti brothers and was put in the courtyard of the Palazzo Brera in Milan. When finished, Vivant Denon advised that it should be the centerpiece of the titular patron's museum instead of the statue of Laocoon. At the base of this statue, a cloth is tied around a stump which actually supports the statue itself and seems to support the titular man's sword. He also has a toga draped over his left arm which is supported by his contraposto pose. The titular figure holds a long staff as well as an orb on which a gilded depiction of Nike stands. The archenemy of the titular apotheosized figure acquired this sculpture after purchasing a lot of art from the looting after Waterloo. For 10 points, name this sculpture by Antonio Canova featuring a French Emperor as a God of War in a seemingly contradictory role.
