Portrait of Napoleon by Sèvres and Jean Gorget (derived from François Gérard) + Napoleon's funeral mask drawn from the cast of his face as a deceased, black pencil on paper by Luigi Calamatta

Immortal Faith, O gentle maid, Full many a triumph hast thou seen ! Write this thing down in joy serene ; Never on Golgotha was laid Sublimer fame as low as this, Never proud spirit bowed like his.

—Alessandro Manzoni, “The Fifth of May”

On May 5, 1821 Napoleon died, and the echo of that news upset the world. Why? Even today, more than two centuries after his death, Napoleon is still a divisive figure: bloodthirsty and unscrupulous tyrant? Skilled military strategist who turned from simple soldier to emperor? Progressive man (especially for the “Napoleon Code”, base of modern civil law)? Enlightened patron (for his impulse given to arts, modern archaeology and for his cult of beauty and grandeur at large)? Maybe the one who best of all caught the ambiguity of his figure was the poet Alessandro Manzoni, who in his famous ode “The Fifth of May” perfectly interpreted the sense of dismay and awe of who is aware of dealing with History. To Manzoni, the river of history flows, yet with a sense of religious pity: what remains is the corpse of who, despite having dominated the world, now lies motionless. And of his past glory, all that remains is just silence and darkness.

Earlier images of Princess Mathilde Bonaparte:

Web references often quote her as saying about Napoleon I – "If it weren't for him, I'd be selling oranges on the streets of Ajaccio." But Napoleon Bonaparte was her uncle so she was granted the title Princess. She married Prince Demidoff, unsuccessfully. She was prominent during the Second Empire, hosting a prominent salon during and after the fall of the Second Empire. While not as beautiful as Empress Eugénie, she did project an aura of glamour. She was a candidate for marriage to Napoleon III, but some of the images posted here reveal someone who would have had no patience for the Emperor's infidelities. She married the poet Claudius Marcel Popelin when Prince Demidoff died in 1870. She died in 1904.

MI RACCONTO – (7) 1945 – inizio della vita

di MARIO BENNI ♦ 1945 – inizio della vita Ad aprile inizia l’anno scolastico che finirà a luglio. La scuola Luigi Calamatta è stata arrangiata solo per le classi del primo piano. Alle finestre ci sono cartoni, senza porte, al bagno due fusti di benzina ed un secchio per l’acqua. Quella da bere si porta da casa con la borraccia. Si porta anche una gamella o una gavetta con cucchiaio per il rancio…

“Not gonna lie, you were incredibly intimidating at first… still kind of are.” @ Daikon from Calamatta

Daikon gave a soft chuckle, shaking his head a bit at that little comment. Truth be told he was quite the intimidating sort, practically a walking wall of pure muscle hulking over just about everyone not to mention the countless battle scars, but such things were really only skin deep when it came to him. Looks weren’t everything when it came down to it with this particular saiyan, far more than meets the eye hiding just below the surface. He gave a brief hum, dropping a few more logs into the decently large fire he was currently using to cook an indescript chunk of meat before turning back to face Calamatta.

“Frankly I’m really not, least I don’t think so. You aren’t exactly the most approachable yourself you know, ya might not look it at first glance but I can tell you can pack a hell of a punch when needed, not to mention temper of course”

Daikon gave a small snort after that, tail loosening from his waist with the end flicking back and forth showing he simply kidding around all in good fun. Truth be told he didn’t want the other to be real worried around him, no point in her not being able to be put at ease and be able to rest properly after a good sparring match like had gone on earlier.

MARIO BENNI ♦ 15 0ttobre 1942 Ad ottobre del 1942 inizia il mio cursus studiorum: Grembiule e fiocco blu dei maschi. Alla scuola elementare Luigi Calamatta ci vado a piedi, con la raccomandazione di mia madre <Attenti alle biciclette!!> Prima via del Pozzolano: è una strada sterrata con un fosso laterale. Alla fine della via si attraversa la Via Aurelia, che in città diviene viale Guido Baccelli,…

Portrait of Fryderyk Chopin by Luigi Calamatta (1838)

I just want to share this little oddity with you!

Le salon de Madame Sand, 1838

These caricatures were made by Maurice Sand, depicting some of the various members of Madame Sand's social circle.

Auguste Charpentier, the painter who made the so famous portrait of George Sand, saw these caricatures. Then, he really took them to the next level, or, more precisely; onto a gouache-painted fan. And let it be said; he certainly did not restrain himself from using his wild imagination!

Although many are indeed painted as humans, we can see Luigi Calamatta as a snake; Maurice Sand as Zephyrus; François Arago as a merman; Bocage as a faun; and Solange as a cat. In the center, Franz Liszt is on his knees before Mme Sand; Eugene Delacroix is a shepherd; and Madame Sand sits by the three, with Fryderyk Chopin, as a little bird, perched on her finger!

Quite amusing, or what do you think?

@georgesandofficial @official-fredericchopin @franzliszt-official

#droll caricatures! #and cute little fryderyk as a bird #i love how charpentier paints his friends as all kinds of funny creatures; but places himself in the safety of the three to the right #he didn't want himself to be messed with!
