Connection: “The Emperor Napoleon in His Study at the Tuileries” and “The Great Wave off Kanagawa”

 Both works have scrolls in them. In Napoleon’s study room, the scrolls are the works he had done or was doing. As for the printing, it is a scroll on its own to be easily shipped out and popularized. Since both work are close in time period, it made sense that scrolls are the easiest way to travel with work or deliver artwork across the sea.
