Lost motivation while drawing Larrey so sketched a little version of him instead

Dominique Jean Larrey, 1804

He was a French surgeon and military doctor during the Napoleonic Wars. He accompanied Napoleon on almost all of his campaigns. Napoleon called him “the most virtuous man I have ever known.”

Among his many innovations include introducing field hospitals, ambulance services, and first-aid practices to the battlefield. He was also the first to note the contagiousness of trachoma (1802) and published the first description of trench foot (1812).

Napoleon would say this of Larrey: “If the Army were to erect a monument of the memory of any one man, it should be that of Larrey. All the wounded are his family.”

My Napoleon keeps running from my Larrey.

I did give my larrey a notebook and some surgical tools for entertainment (as any good owner should), but now my Napoleon won’t go near him.

What do i do? I don’t want to have to get rid of one of them. I love them both too much. 😓

Napoleons usually get along well with Larreys l, this is puzzling! I can only suspect that your Napoleon may have gotten an injury, perhaps at a Toulon, where his leg was almost amputated, and now he fears that doctors are looking for an excuse to amputate his leg.

Soothe your Napoleon and tell him it’s very unlikely that anyone will just chop off his leg for like, the sport of it. And perhaps give your Larreys some creatures to use his surgical kit on that aren’t your Napoleon, so he doesn’t feel tempted!

Nope this helps!

Theres a manila Envelope on his doorstep. Inside is a small letter and some sheet music. Marshal, I do apologize for the late welcome. Some... unexpected things came up. If you are ever wounded or in need of anything, please let me know. And if you are in need of a warm beverage and someone to talk to, my door is always open. - @trauma-and-truffles

P.S: Happy Birthday. In the envelope is some music for violin that my assistant put together. as I am not very good with music

Saint-Cyr's eyes glance over the sheet music, a small smile twitching at his lips.

Bonjour à vous, cher Docteur;

It is good to hear from you, although I am alarmed that the afterlife is apparently still in need of medical care. Is it so busy here that your services are still needed? Nevertheless, I am sure everyone is in good hands with you.

Please pass my gratitude along to your assistant. This is a most stirring melody. Thank you.

- L. de Gouvion Saint-Cyr

Little help needed for identifying a bird.

is there any birds who are native to North America that could fit this description?

“a species of red partridge, which is very common (tetra lagopus, Lin.) differs from that in Europe in being much larger. The circumference of the eyes is ornamented with a fleshy ring of a scarlet colour. The beak is red, and the toes are covered with thick grey silk or hair, down to the nails. These partridges are also red with brown spots in the summer, and white in winter, as I know from observation. It is also said that this change of colour takes place without a change of plumage.”

I’m currently the first volume of the “Memoirs of Military Surgery” by Dominique Jean Larrey, who spent some time in Newfoundland. I can figure out all the animals he’s describing except this one.

anyone have any ideas?

Fixed it

surgeon, pinching nose bridge in frustration: look, no. Skin is not like fabric. You cannot get preventative stitches in places you anticipate getting stabbed.

me: why not? :(

[mokifish]

I absolutely love your art! 🥰

Also, obligatory art request, as it appears requests are open: could you do one of Larrey or Frederik vi?

If you are in need of references for either, please let me know. I’ve built quite the collection for both. :)

Larrey :D

Thank you! Sorry this took so long, I was having rly bad art block, but i'm back now. Also, the urge to yassify them was strong, but i'm seriously trying to get better at drawing men. 💔💔

Btw, i'll probs do a request every couple of weeks or so! Right now they're closed though, but i'll try to get the ones in my inbox all done.

Sadly still very occupied with my University termpaper. I sadly dont have time to research for my paintings at the moment, as i want to portray the historical people as authentic as possible but i hope that that'll change in two weeks. Ill mostly post some quick sketches for that time, starting with this Larrey-one

[isthenapoleoncute]

Do you recommend getting a Larrey along a Naps ? I hear they are good for the Napoleon's health

Rating: Yes, very, very, VERY CUTE!

Napoleons get along great with Larreys, and view them as among the top-tier most honest creatures they ever interact with! In general, Napoleons dislike doctors and veterinarians, so if you can find one that that the Napoleon gets along with (such as a Larrey) you can bet your Napoleon's life will be enhanced both by quality and quantity!

[captainknell]

Yep. I've decided it. Larrey is my favorite after Napoleon himself

would you have the obligeance to cure my ignorence about Dominique-Jean Larrey?

Sorry I took so long but here ya go

Dominique-Jean Larrey was the chief surgeon to Napoleon’s Imperial Guard and an important innovator in battlefield medicine. He’s considered by many to be the first modern day military surgeon. He’s famous of his humane treatment of wounded soldiers, regardless of their rank or nationality. 

His most important invention was the ambulance volante or “flying ambulances” which he created when serving in the Army of the Rhine. These ambulances were designed to transport wounded soldiers from the battlefield to the field hospitals as quickly and as safely as possible. 

He improved on the organization and mobility of field hospitals basically creating the Napoleonic version of MASH units. 

He is also credited with creating the process of sorting injured people into groups based on their need of immediate medical treatment aka triage.

He is considered to have introduced debridement (basically the removal of dead flesh from around a wound to promote the healing of healthy tissue).

He was one of the first to amputate at the hip, to write about trench foot, to take note of maggots cleaning wounds, use a feeding tube, and promote immediate amputation if necessary. 

Unsurprising, he became a favorite of Napoleon and his army. Napoleon even called him “the most virtuous man I have ever known”. Unfortunately, this lead to a lot of jealously and petty rivalries for poor Larrey. 

(also one time he was crowd surfed of a bridge by a crowd of adoring French soldiers)

Hey…

It’s been 4 months since I’ve uploaded anything and a lot has happened since. I’ve officially graduated with a bachelor’s degree and I’ve left my home, my family, friends and everything. I’m now temporarily living in a new country with my father. It’s not a safe country (I won’t name any names). I’m doing A LOT of physical training, but I’m not eating enough and my health hasn’t been great because of this. I don’t know how to explain what I’m feeling right now. It’s a sort of loss or emptiness, recent graduates might understand this. Young people in my home country with a degree in anything that isn’t STEM are struggling to find jobs. I’m in that situation too. I may soon enter into a field of work that desperate young men (or women) usually go for iykyk

Besides all that, I’m okay and hopefully I can get back to my passion and hobbies 😚💓✨

I’ve seen so many new artists in the community and I’m so happy. I miss all my mutuals. I hope y’all have been great! 👏💕

A gift for myself as I've gotten to napoleonic fandom for 1000(+3) days🥰!
