Troubadour style painting first appeared at the Paris Salon in the opening years of the Nineteenth century. After its initial success during the reign of Napoleon, it continued to fiourish in the period of the Bourbon Restoration. Of small scale and primarily devoted to the representation of anecdotal scenes from the lives of the great French monarchs of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance periods, troubadour style painting evoked nationalist and patriotic sentiments. This analysis of its socio-political foundations in the Napoleonic period reveals an implicit royalist message, particularly in the works of Pierre Revoil and Fleury Richard, the two leading practitioners of this type of painting.
