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".

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.

OOC: The Napoleonic Askblog/Roleplay Scene Directory

Here's an Out Of Character post listing the blogs I'm aware of in the Napoleonic RPF Roleplay Scene! It's OOC because Lannes would want to make sarcastic remarks with typos.

If you want (or don't want) your blog on this list, message me and whether you want a main/other blog associated with your name or whether you want to be anonymised! Also happy to include non-Frenchmen and Frev folks.

Doubles or multiple versions of people are welcome, this is a varied afterlife. We all have our different ideas for what this afterlife is like as well.

Feel free to reblog or link to this!

And now we have a OOC discord server to chat about all of this! Feel free to join if you'd like!

[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
