Salicetti, on whom the Army of Italy now also relies, took umbrage at the protection the Robespierre brothers granted Buonaparte. Perhaps the young general was somewhat clumsy in his dealings with his compatriot? Is it true that, as the Representative told the new ComitĆ© de Salut Public, he ābarely looked at him from the height of his statureā? In any case, on August 6, Salicetti wrote to his colleague Berthier: āI learned of the death of the new tyrant and his accomplices, and I assure you that my heart expanded with pleasure. You know how despotically Ricord and Augustin Robespierre dominated the Army of Italy. How abuses reigned in finances...ā
Buonaparte, āRobespierre's favouriteā, was inevitably compromised. āI am convinced,ā Salicetti added, āthat when I arrive in Nice, I will find Ricord gone and perhaps Buonaparte too. If they are still in Nice, we have decided to have them arrested and sent to Paris immediately. There are strong grounds for suspicion, treason and squandering.ā On the same August 6, representatives Albitte and Laporte, whom Salicetti had tracked down in Barcelonnette, called the young Robespierre's campaign plan - suggested by Buonaparte - āliberticideā.
āBuonaparte was their man,ā they specify in their letter to the Committee, ātheir plan-maker whom we had to obey. A letter, anonymous but dated from Genoa, warned us that there was one million on the road to corrupt a general. Stay on your guard, we were told. Salicetti is on his way. He tells us that Buonaparte has gone to Genoa, authorized by Ricord. What was this general planning to do in a foreign country? All our suspicions are fixed on his head...ā It is certain - Napoleon would later admit that his favor with the representatives on mission in place before Thermidor was high - that Augustin Robespierre hardly made any decisions concerning the Army of Italy before consulting the young general.
Without waiting for the Committee's orders, the three commissioners, āconsidering that General Buonaparte has totally lost their trust through the most suspicious conduct, and especially through the trip he recently made to Genoaā, decided as follows: āBrigadier General Buonaparte, commander-in-chief of the artillery of the Army of Italy, is temporarily suspended from duty. He will be arrested by and under the responsibility of the General-in-Chief of the aforementioned army, and taken to the ComitĆ© de Salut Public, in Paris, under safe escort. All papers and effects will be sealed...ā.
I was itching to do this
Happy birthday to the Mr. Incorruptible himself.

I finally didn't forget Maxims birthday this year so I was able to make something on his b-day. Thought this song was perfect for him since it's about a corrupt politician and Maxims literally known as THE INCORRUPTIBLE but the Thermidor propaganda did such irreparable damage to his image that it's fitting to put him into an animatic with such an oxymoron of a song. (the name itself being also a sort of oxymoron)

As a longtime summer disliker im preparing for the heatwave with this snowy piece. Also its teeny tiny bit inspired by James Sants painting "courage, anxiety and despair" even tho it doesnt look like it. I accidentaly made SJ look like he froze up... I might draw another snowy one soon bc even tho the snow didnt come out much how id like, it was still fun to draw.
What... Do you mean intimate?
[After the arrest of Danton and Desmoulins] Lucile ran to Madame Danton to suggest that she come with her to go find Robespierre, ask him for an explanation, and recall the feelings of friendship which had attached him to their husbands. Madame Danton refused, saying that she wanted nothing from a man who had showed himself to be the enemy of her husband. (I obtained this particularity from Madame Danton herself, who was then pregnant. She gave birth fifteen days after Danton's death, but her child did not live.)
Histoire de la RĆ©volution franƧaiseĀ (1850) by Nicolas VilliaumĆ©, volume 4, page 55.Ā This ties in well withĀ the following anecdoteĀ that was first reported by Marcellin Matton (who presumably obtained it from Lucileās mother Annette Duplessis) in his republished edition ofĀ Le Vieux CordelierĀ (1834):
Camille, the day after his arrest, wrote a letter to his wife to console her. One of Camilleās friends took it to Lucile: she read it while sobbing, and as he tried to console her: āIt's useless,ā she said, āI cry like a woman, because Camille. suffers, because without doubt they let him lack everything; because he does not see us.... But I will have the courage of a man, I will save him.... What to do? which of his judges must I supplicate? Which one should I attack openly? Would you like to take me to Philippeaux?ā āHe has also been arrested, no doubt.ā āSo the homeland no longer has defenders....Ā I am going to see Danton....ā āThe same decree unites him to your husband.ā āWhy have they left me free? Do they think that since Iām only a woman I wonāt dare to raise my voice? Have they counted on my silence? Iām going to the Jacobinsā¦Ā Iām going to Robespierreās houseā¦ā Madame Duplessis and Camille's friend restrained her and urged her not to take any inconsiderate steps that could lose her and her husband as well; finally she agreed to remain quiet; but she wanted to write to Robespierre to ask him to save her husband, the letter remained unfinished and was never sent.
ā While on a reconnaissance mission near the village of Rippach, he was killed by a cannon ball that tore off his left arm, pierced his torso and tore open his right side. ā
We donāt talk about his death enough
