I was reading this article about French paintings of fairytales, and I decided to share some of them with you! Because while France has a long and rich history of fairytale illustrations (the peak of the iceberg being Gustave Doré's illustrations of Perrault's fairytales), it also has several famous fairytale paintings. Some of these include...

Jean-Louis Demarne's "Little Thumbling" (Petit Poucet ; Hop o' my thumb)

And Fleury François Richard's Little Red Riding Hood:

But we also have an entire series of fairytale paintings created by a same artist, Jean-Antoine Laurent. Unfortunately a lot of these fairytale paintings were lost (we know he did a "Fairy Urgèle" and a "Little Red Riding Hood" lost today) but we have preserved some. Including his "Cinderella trying the glass slipper"...

... his "Cinderella" (sometimes called "Cinderella with the cat" to differentiate it from the painting above)...

... and his "Donkey skin".

The ends of the Marshals

We know a lot about our marshals of empires, but for some their existence ends in 1814, I did some research and I did all the dates of death of the 26 marshals of the empire with their age of death and some information that I had, do not hesitate to say other information if you have any, when we look closely Lannes was the first to die and at a young age while the one who spent the most time on earth is Moncey who lived until 87 years old, yet it is Marmont who will be the last to die in 1852, I hope that this will be useful for some.

Le fléau, que vous pouvez découvrir dans les jardins du Palais Royal, n’est pas un spectacle comme un autre, loin s’en faut. En fait nous ne sommes pas spectateurs dans une salle de spectacle.

L'ultimo giorno sulla Terra

Benvenuti o bentornati sul nostro blog. Nello scorso articolo abbiamo fatto un salto nel tempo negli anni ’60 per parlare di una pellicola horror fantascientifica, co-prodotta da Italia e USA, e tratta da uno dei miei libri preferiti in assoluto, ossia L’ultimo uomo della Terra. La storia parla di Robert, uno scienziato sopravvissuto a una grave epidemia che ha trasformato tutte le persone in…

Last Journey of Paul W.R. (2020)

My rating: 4/10

Bits and pieces of other movies, smooshed together without much regard for coherence into the vague shape of a narrative, which also seems to suggest that a) the global catastrophe is entirely linked to some rando's mental health issues (a weirdly common, and to my mind rather frustrating, trope) and b) the way to deal with this is to commit suicide. Fucking lovely.

Portrait en pied de l'impératrice Joséphine avec des éléments de style troubadour, par Jean-Antoine Laurent, Musée des arts décoratifs de Strasbourg, ca. 1805 (link)

Portrait of the Empress Josephine by Joseph Paelinck, ca. 1808 (link)

I think both of these artists actually saw Josephine in person.

[napoleonic-sexyman-tournament]

Friends, enemies, comrades, Jacobins, Monarchist, Bonapartists, gather round. We have an important announcement:

The continent is beset with war. A tenacious general from Corsica has ignited conflict from Madrid to Moscow and made ancient dynasties tremble. Depending on your particular political leanings, this is either the triumph of a great man out of the chaos of The Terror, a betrayal of the values of the French Revolution, or the rule of the greatest upstart tyrant since Caesar.

But, our grand tournament is here to ask the most important question: Now that the flower of European nobility is arrayed on the battlefield in the sexiest uniforms that European history has yet produced (or indeed, may ever produce), who is the most fuckable?

The bracket is here: full bracket and just quadrant I
