[frenchhistory]

Jules Joseph Lefebvre (1836–1911) was a French figure painter, educator and theorist.

Lady Godiva was an Anglo-Saxon noblewoman who, according to legend, rode naked through the streets of Coventry, in England, in order to gain a remission of the oppressive taxation imposed by her husband on his tenants.
