Hey, so… I was inactive for a long time, wasn’t I?

But I, the Pepi enthusiast, shall never be dead.

And so, I am back!

Brought you a lot of stuff I managed to draw in that time.

EXTRAAAA BIG ART DUMP ‼️‼️

Oh? Who are they? Special guests in Pepi art dump? Yes! A sweet treat for people who don’t necessarily like Pepi-only related stuff

Aaaaand back to Poniatowski

Nothing really extraordinary, just simple doodles. Sorry for that.

I got these bust figurines last week and never got around to posting them.

Napoleon (with hat), Poniatowski, Junot, Murat, and Napoleon (without hat he probably threw a fit and stomped it into the ground)

Prince Józef Poniatowski leading the army near Leipzig (1913)

Jan Chełmiński (Polish, 1851-1925)

“Prince Josef Anton Poniatowski was the second to last of the marshals, and the most incongruous. He was an enlightened reformist nobleman of Lithuanian, Czech, and Italian descent, a hereditary prince of Bohemia and of Poland. He was familiar with the court circles of Vienna, Berlin, and St. Petersburg. But he was also a Polish patriot, and political necessity drove him to serve the parvenu Emperor Napoleon, whom he neither liked nor trusted. His motto, Bog, Honor, Ojczyzna (“God, Honor, Father-land”) imposed commitments that were impossible to uphold and reconcile. The prince was brave and honest, sensitive and melancholic; he lacked the subtlety essential to this successful practitioner of national politics in an age of turmoil. He was tormented by the inner contradictions imposed by external circumstances. By 1813 the demands of personal honor and national interest had reduced him to suicidal desperation. He resolved his difficulties by finding a heroic death at the Battle of Leipzig, so discharging his debt of honor to his unworthy creditor and false friend Napoleon and adding luster to the martial reputation of Poland.”

An except from Chandler’s Napoleon’s Marshals, I can say I always like his uncle more.

Just went back from zumba with my mother and sisters. Now, i am randomly wandering, which marshal is interested in willing zumba and which one is not~?! Hmm~?

Give me your profound argument in which marshal belongs to which section, whether i am right or wrong about it. I also take criticism and funny yet eloquent joke of this chart hahahaha!

Btw, Napoleon is the doubtful section. He will do it if he is persuaded and begged.

Genuine question regarding Poniatowski's marital status -

Maybe this is a stupid question to people who know more about him than I do but: Why did Jozéf Poniatowski never get married? I know it wasn't an issue of fertility, he fathered several illegitimate children. And I know some men at the time only married quite late in life but he was already 50 when he died, and still unmarried, which I can't help but find a little strange if not just out of place even for the time. Was it an issue of a lot of the women he showed interest in having already been married? Or of politics like he would have had to marry someone in an incredibly specific position? Would marrying put him into a situation (political, financial, social, or otherwise) which he didn't want to be in? Did he just like the single life? Was he a Beyonce Single Lady? It just confuses me is all :sob:
