Yess who doesn’t love to hug your friend?

Well, of course everyone will like it… expect Napoleon. He doesn’t look quite happy on that drawing.

Konstytucja 3 Maja by Jan Matejko (1891)

Happy birthday to the Polish Constitution of 3 May 1791, aka "if you're going to innovate democracy, go big or go home".

(Spoiler: they couldn't go home, since the 'go big' part was so naughty that mom, dad and dad put 'home' on the top shelf until the Polish people had sat in the corner for a while* and thought about what they'd done.)

*123 years

Featuring bonus Kościuszko:

TW: (VERY BADLY DRAWN) GORE!!!

The Ballad of Sara Berry

But instead it’s Joachim Murat! :D

Murat slayed…literally…

So…a friend of mine was listening to The Ballad of Sara Berry from the 35mm: A Musical Exhibition album and they mentioned how they were imagining Murat as the titular Sara Berry so I did what I had to do 😤

All the gore is really poorly drawn here, I just doodled everything really quickly but omg I love the concept of Murat girlbossing and murdering people for some reason 😭 It was also really fun to draw the marshals as dead guys for some reason 💀

Finding the body of Prince Józef

Having finished the series about the last year of Prince Józef's life, it is impossible to ignore the issue of finding his body, especially since many paintings illustrating that event were created in that era and later.

The Allies began searching for the bodies of those killed in the Battle of Leipzig already in the afternoon on the 19th October.

Prince Poniatowski's body was found only on the 24th, a very short distance from the place - about three hundred steps - where he tried to cross the Elster. It was recovered from the river, according to Szymon Askenazy, by Leipzig fishermen Johann Christian Friedrich and Johann Christian Meissner, and their assistants Adam Solten and Beniamin Meissner.

At the time of his death, the prince was wearing a Polish general's uniform, with a Virtuti Militari cross on his chest; some sources even state that being found he still was holding a broadsword in his hand. However, the wig Poniatowski used to wear, together with the artificial sideburns attached to it, slipped off the prince's head and wasn't found together with the body.

This circumstance made the identification of the body rather difficult. (Though, I had to say, the body’s state wasn’t as bad as it might be expected on the 5th day after death - the cold water kinda preserved it. Antoni Ostrowski even states that prince’ face was serene, smooth and beautiful as in life. But others wrote that there had been a dark spot on his forehead.)

Nevertheless, the Polish generals who had been taken by Allied as prisoners of war - Grabowski, Kamieniecki, Krasiński, Rożniecki and Umiński - recognized in the deceased man his commander...

One of the images from my collection even shows prince Józef without his wig (though with sideburns, and moustache - about which I am still not sure whether Poniatowski) was wearing it at the time of his death:

Having being found, Poniatowski's body was then deposited in the underground vault of the city hall of Leipzig (it was there where the official recognition was made).

Then it would be buried in the church of St. John (but this is the topic for another post...)

The first time I saw these two portraits I refused to believe they were the same person. But what I did believe was that he's cute.
