Hi guys 👋

I have to write a short “thesis” (putting here quotation marks because I’m in high school 😅 and it’s not like the real thing) and my topic is: Art during la Terreur. I’m looking for some reliable internet sources. And who better to ask then u

Thanks y’all 😘

Aside from David, you might want to look into Claude Deseine. He was a deaf sculptor who created busts of prominent people like Robespierre!

[klara-1838]

Thank you @usergreenpixel 🥰

I’ve looked into Deseine’s work and it’s really good material. And David is definitely THE STAR of my thesis 😂

Balls at the Theater San Carlo were social events of the season, especially the masked balls. The king and queen enjoyed costuming themselves, though at Caroline’s insistence neither ever wore masks. Caroline and Murat entertained frequently and lavishly. Nobles, officials, and military officers followed the example of the monarchs—some happily, like Prince Pignatelli, who spent 50,000 francs on a single ball—some grudgingly, like Marshal Pérignon, commandant of Naples, at whose affairs there was little wine and sometimes no food. Premiers at the theaters and opera were occasions, though Murat was apt to doze. His real passion was hunting— pheasant at Caserta, ducks at Lake Agnano, deer on the Volturno. The pace was exhausting, but wine flowed and feasts were lavish. And a veritable pageant surrounded the king, who took as his hunting costume the uniform of his heroes—the Gascon musketeers of Francis I. Never was he happier or a better host than in the country.

While Caroline liked and cultivated the nobility, Murat distrusted and felt ill at ease with them, Despite the elegance of his retinue, he remained, emotionally, something of a crowned Jacobin, and enjoyed mingling with his people. Occasionally he went walking incognito, to the delight of the lazzaroni, who never failed to recognize him, but happily played his game with him, dropping outrageous flatteries of “the king” as they talked.

Fellas, I am at it again - trying to convince you Villefort is more attractive than you thought. Jk, I just wanted to redraw an illustration of him. Here's side by side two images. It was fun to draw

“Perhaps after thousands of years some wonderfully shrewd schoolmaster in a fearfully profound dissertation will prove beyond cavil, that Napoleon Bonaparte was identical with that other Titan who stole fire from the gods, and who for this trespass was chained to a solitary rock in the midst of the sea, as a prey to a vultue, which day by day gnawed away at his heart.”

— Heinrich Heine, Travel Pictures (1826)
