Napoleon as Mars the Peacemaker, Bronze statue at Pinacoteca di Brera in Milan, Italy

Napoleone come Marte Pacificatore is a colossal bronze sculpture displayed in the courtyard of Palazzo di Brera in Milan. The figure portrays Bonaparte as the Roman god Mars and rests on a base of granite and Carrara marble decorated with bronze ornaments.

In spring 1807 Charles-Jean-Marie Alquier, French ambassador to Rome, commissioned Canova to make an exact bronze copy of his marble Napoleon as Mars the Peacemaker for 5,000 louis, on the instructions of Viceroy Eugène de Beauharnais. Roman founders Francesco and Luigi Righetti cast it in 1810 using bronze from cannons of Castel Sant'Angelo; the casting succeeded only on the second attempt. Sent to Milan in May 1812, it waited decades for a site and was inaugurated in the Brera courtyard on 14 August 1859.

The bronze was cast by the Roman founders Francesco and Luigi Righetti, succeeding only on the second attempt; the metal came from cannons melted down at Castel Sant'Angelo. The statue's base was designed by Luigi Bisi, and the work was inaugurated on it on 8 November 1864. The plaster model used for the casting, over three metres tall, is now in Room XIV of the Pinacoteca.

The sculpture sits in the courtyard open to the public and is visible from outside the building. Visit during daylight hours to see the details of the figure and its ornamental base clearly.

The bronze for the statue came from melting cannons taken from Castel Sant'Angelo, and the Roman founders Francesco and Luigi Righetti succeeded only on their second attempt at casting it. The winged Victory held in Napoleon's hand was replaced in 1980 after the original was stolen in 1978.
