The Consulate is a period between Directoire and Empire in French history. Napoleon became Consul in November 1799 prior to crown himself Emperor. The period of his reign as Emperor, from May 1804 to June 1815, is known as the Empire period. Napoleon, having gained his position through his political and military achievements, used artists, designers and architects to promote and legitimise his regime. The glorious ancient Greek and Roman Empires also inspired the Empire style. After his Egyptian Campaign, it was furthermore strongly influenced by the grandeur of ancient Egypt. The Empire style achieved great popularity and was then adopted in courts throughout Europe, especially in Russia. In England it was known as the Regency style.
