Napoleon Bonaparte
Every history buff on the planet will already be familiar with Napoleon Bonaparte, Emperor of France from 1804 to 1814. Napoleon was famously short. Apparently, he was 5 feet and 6 inches tall. But some historic reports claim that he was as short as 4 feet 10 inches. Sources vary across the Internet, so we will never know how short he actually was. But at least we know what his face looked like. The vast majority of his busts and portraits look remarkably similar in terms of his facial features. This portrait is titled “The Emperor Napoleon in His Study at the Tuileries” by Jacques-Louis David in 1812.
