Question
I am writing an essay on the painting by Jacques Louis David on the Coronation of Napoleon. How can I find out who the congregation in the painting are.
I would be very grateful for any assistance.

Answer
The only information that I could find out is this:  Consecration of the Emperor Napoleon I and Coronation of the Empress Josephine in the Cathedral of Notre-Dame de Paris on 2 December 1804. 1808. Oil on canvas. 621 x 979 cm.  Louvre, Paris, France.  I couldn't find any other information out on it, I'm waiting for someone to email me back and I'll get back to you as soon as they do!  I'm trying to help you as much as I can, so hang in there and keep asking around!

I've been a fan of his since 1998, when I first saw Starry Night, it was like love at first sight. Like I said, I've done plently of essays and biographies on him, I could answer just about anything that anyone would need to know about him.
