Napoleon with Horse, Battle of St. Bernard Pass Stone Coaster
The year is 1800. A chill wind whispers through the towering peaks of the Alps, a silent witness to the drama unfolding below. Forget the idealized portraits for a moment, and listen to the tale of a crossing unlike any other. I tell you of Napoleon Bonaparte, a man driven by ambition, and an army bound by his will. They were not marching into a battlefield of glory, but into a natural fortress of ice and stone: the Great St. Bernard Pass. -- Imagine, if you will, the endless columns of men, their heavy boots sinking into the unforgiving snow. Each breath was a plume of white in the frigid air. They hauled cannons and supplies, their bodies straining with every step, over paths barely wider than a mountain goat's trail. The wind, a constant adversary, threatened to hurl them into the icy abyss. Avalanches, like sleeping giants, loomed over them, waiting to unleash their fury. -- He, Napoleon, the Little Corporal, was there amongst them. Not always astride a magnificent steed, as the painters would have you believe, but often on a more humble mule, his gaze fixed on the distant peaks. His enemy was Austria, and the fate of Italy hung in the balance. The Austrians, having pushed the French out of much of Italy, believed the Alps impenetrable. Napoleon's audacious plan was to surprise them, to descend upon them from this unexpected direction and reclaim what was lost. For Napoleon, this was more than a military campaign; it was about solidifying his power, his image as a brilliant leader, and ensuring France's dominance in Europe. For his men, it was a test of loyalty and endurance, driven by the promise of glory and the fear of failure.

Custom sizing to an exact square allowed me to frame the photo perfectly for the ceramic coaster. There were all kinds of editing options for the images. Very fun to do and they look awesome. I made them as a gift but got a few doubly made for me! Really well done. I wanted the images dark with low contrast and saturated colours and they came out exactly as I hoped!

Just received these stone coasters with my art work on them. I love the stone look. Nice and heavy with a cork backing to avoid scratches. Love how the colors and imagine of my paintings look on these stone coasters. Vibrant and just how I imagined them to be.
