If you are a

unlock some of the mysteries of the Louvre with this neat feature of "A Closer Look".

One of these shows paintings by David depicts Napoleon crowning Josephine.

In an
auburn colored section of the painting you can even see a gallery of David's friends and relations watching the coronation.
