I love him your honor.
"Robespierre, l'amant de la patrie" translates as "Robespierre, lover of the fatherland". Quite cringy but it was written by a descendant of the Duplay familly who had heard so much about him from his relatives that he wanted to put their memories on paper to save them for posterity. I have not read much of it yet, but I'll post anything of interest.
"Études sur Robespierre" first chapter is very interesting, we see Bonbon as an envoyé aux armées who is trying to free people wrongly emprisonned by setting patriotic village councils in old churches and listening to the people explanations as to why x or y should be freed or kept in jail. He also tries to fight against corrupt officials trying to hide the fact that they are buying aristocrates furniture, art or jewels before the legal auction (and with assignats) by being violently anti religious.
why he looks hot and not Habsburg 🙏

《I abandon here my love》
I had an idea at the end of August, just finished a tour of the Elden Ring:Shadow of the Erdtree, and was fascinated by the idea of "I abandon here my love", thinking of Napoleon and Josephine's divorce, I drew a draft at that time, so the initial draft had a lot to do with Elden Ring:Shadow of the Erdtree, and the title of the painting is "I abandon here my love," There is also a light pillar corresponding to Miquella's cross between the two people, and the dynamic is also the gesture that Napoleon let go of Josephine will fall to the ground. When the formal painting is probably the reason that the mind has cooled down after three months, i think it is not appropriate, so I abandon about the Elden Ring's idea here (?) However,The idea was interesting, so the name and draft were kept.
I was wandering around the lighting booth in my school's theater and look who I found...

The doctor of contemporary history Antoine Resche had an excellent sentence on his biography of Maximilien Robespierre "if Robespierre had important words to defend a certain social policy, he had also repressed those who wanted a more radical one" . An example : one of the reasons why the maximum was adopted in September 1793 is because of the pressure of a large number of Sans Culottes who were even more to the left than him (more precisely when the Sans Culottes invade the assembly again) . He was not necessarily for the maximum but understood that he had to reconcile himself with the ultra revolutionaries who demanded it
P.S: This is not gratuitous Robespierre bashing just to explain one of his flaws outside of the black legend.
