The event was commemorated not only by this hornpipe, but by five versions of an oil portrait of Napoleon by the French artist Jacques-Louis David between 1801 and 1805. The paintings are known variously by the titles Napoleon Crossing the Alps, Napoleon at the Saint-Bernard Pass or Bonaparte Crossing the Alps, and depict an idealized view of the leader.
