Last post for the night: everyone has a favorite Napoleon portrait or two. This one was my friend’s. She liked it so much she had two.

It seems like once a month I think about Delaroche's The Execution of Lady Jane Grey

She was only 17. Gosh

what a great painting

the gentleness of it all, the fact that she's being gently assisted to her spot, blindfolded . her ladies in waiting just in anguish.

the way she's depicted in white while everyone else dresses in dark tones

she glows, it's ethereal

the way this is depicted makes me mourn for her, i feel that anguish, she was only 17

i wanna go back in time and kill henry viii
