The Fall of Berlin marked a high point in the success of Napoleon and he issued the Berlin Decree from the city, implementing the Continental System aimed at strangling European trade with the United Kingdom.

Meynier was a contemporary of Jacques-Louis David, and painted a number of French patriot scenes. It depicts Napoleon riding into the city with the Brandenburg Gate in the background. Today the painting is part of the collection of the Palace of Versailles just outside Paris.<ref>Edwards p.67</ref>
