Andrea Appiani was born in Milan in 1754.
He studied painting with Carlo Maria Giudici, Martin Knoller and Giuliano Traballesi.
When Napoleon arrived in Milan in 1796, Appiani became the emperor's official painter.
His most important works were the cycle of celebrative frescoes in the Palazzo Reale in Milan, which include the Apotheosis of Napoleon and the large Napoleonic Frieze for the Sala delle Cariatidi, now almost entirely destroyed.
He died in Milan in 1817.
