Pantheon's Mirabeau is a stand-alone statue behind the Convention monument, and the pose makes it looks like he's just got excluded from the good patriots club and is angry about it, but nobody else cares

So I read the 4 volumes (comics) of "Two hundred years ago: The French Revolution" not long ago and something disturbed me...In volume 1, Desmoulins has brown hair and Saint Just has blond hair. But in the three volumes that follow, the two end up with black hair. I mean, why did they make this change?
But anyways so here’s a blond saint just and robespierre because why not? (Even if I don't really like the result I got for Robespierre-). And some pictures of the comics (excuse me the last picture is kinda funny-) (and yes, behind Saint Just there are Mirabeau, Danton and Marat) (and of course it’s Lucile with Camille).

“The return to monarchy was not a counterrevolution. Bonaparte crowns the principles of the Revolution. He was to reign in the name of the sovereign people and guarantee that the properties confiscated from the nobility and the clergy and sold off would not be returned to their earlier owners. He succeeded in combining modern society with the royalty, a combination about which a majority of the members of the Constituent Assembly, and first of all Mirabeau and La Fayette, had dreamed.”

I saw these articulated “Mirabeau Tonneau” dolls in an auction catalogue that @silver-whistle posted about.

And ran into the original caricature in Révolutions de France et de Brabant No. 27! I also found a version in A History of Champagne by Henry Vizetelly (1882) that attributes the original sketch to Camille. He might have just meant it came from his paper, but I like to imagine, because this is probably how it worked (?), Camille going to see the artist for whatever issue he was working on and saying, “oh!, and L’Ami du Peuple rises from the sewers!” or “here’s what I’m thinking, it’s Mirabeau, but made entirely out of barrels”.

It wasn’t until some years later, following the decline of leprosy in Western Europe, that those with mental illness began to be detained. Leprosy is a contagious disease that affects the skin. When the disease spread across Europe, patients were confined to special facilities called lazar houses, located on the outskirts of cities. When the leprosy outbreaks subsided in Europe, these facilities found a new purpose in detaining criminals, derelicts and people with mental illness. It’s perhaps unsurprising then that the new detainees began to be seen as carriers of disease. Just as medieval societies had come to marginalize and stigmatize the then-called “leper”, the societies of the classical ages did the same with these new people – thereby associating the term “madness” with being an outcast.
By the start of the seventeenth century, idleness – or a perceived lack of interest in working – had become a characteristic that the ruling classes not only despised, they considered it dangerous to society. Therefore, the authorities had to find a way to both curb this behavior and hide it from the public eye. The original role of the police, which first appeared in the European countries around that time, was to ensure that poor people worked. In the same spirit, the Hôpital Général, or general hospital, was created not to treat the ill, but to confine the idle and the unwanted. Foucault points to this development as the start of the “great confinement.” At the time, people with a mental illness or disorder only accounted for ten percent of the confined population, and unlike petty criminals and others who were hidden away, they were put on display for curious onlookers. Shockingly, at the Bicêtre hospital just south of Paris, this display took place every Sunday and continued until the uprising of the French Revolution. An early leader of the revolution, Honoré Mirabeau, described the revolting practice in his book Observations D’Un Voyageur Anglais (1788). He wrote that, at the Bicêtre, “madmen were shown like curious animals, to the first simpleton willing to pay a coin.”
Until 1815, London’s Bethlehem hospital also opened their doors to paying customers on Sundays, so that anyone paying a penny could gaze upon such people.
Potentially violent “madmen” were often chained to the walls with shackles around their ankles and wearing only hospital gowns. At a hospital in Nantes, France, they were placed in individual iron cages. Astoundingly, hospital staff assumed these people must be accustomed to pain, cold and other discomforts and could only be tamed by brutal discipline. These conditions were found in hospitals throughout Europe.
