Reimagining the Film Napoleon with Mark Schneider

art digital, 2024

I wanted to create fan art of this famous historical reenactor, but it turned into something more than just a simple fan art piece. Mark has become my personal model for drawing inspiration from historical concepts based on what he portrays. Initially, I thought of redesigning the cover of the miniseries "War and Peace" (the title of the novel by Leo Tolstoy), as well as for this latter cover. However, I hesitated, thinking the idea might not work well, because I wanted the title to vividly reflect its meaning, incorporating symbols that represented the words: ‘War’ with cannons and bayonets, and ‘Peace’ with doves, and that was it. But since I also wanted to create a redesign of the much-criticized film by Ridley Scott (Napoleon), I decided to do it in an alternative version, posing the question of whether Mark Schneider could portray the character. He does such a great job, and I sincerely hope he won't take offense; I would be truly saddened if that were the case.????????
