Samenvatting
One summer, when artist Elizabeth Peyton was very young, she read a biography of Napoleon and became instantly entranced by a man who changed the course of world history, the man known in his youth as "Prince Eagle".

Called "Young and new and going somewhere" by The New York Times, Peyton's work has been acclaimed by Artforum, Parkett, Flash Art, the Village Voice, and other publications.
