Ricardo Rodriguez challenges himself just like Jacques-Louis David did back in the day portraying "Napoleon Crossing the Alps" (1801), neither of them had the french emperor posing for their works as Napoleon wouldn't pose, stating that "nobody knows if the portraits of great men resemble them, it is enough that their genius lives there". 

Ricardo Rodriguez se desafía como hizo en su día Jacques-Louis David retratando "Napoleón Cruzando los Alpes"(1801), y es que ninguno de los dos han podido disponer del emperador francés para realizar sus respectivas obras porque Napoleón no posaba. "nadie sabe si los retratos de grandes hombres los asemejan, es suficiente que sus grandezas vivan en ellos" - Napoleón Bonaparte.
