The peculiar revelation, published in New York magazine, comes from an upcoming book on the former Breitbart News heads political rise and his at-times fractious relationship with Donald Trump.
According to the author Joshua Green, the painting replicates the famous portrait of Napoleon in his study at the Tuileries palace, but with Bannon in place of the emperor.
