Just one more and that's it, I swear

This one is for the Saint-Just lovers out there; it's got a weathered look to it this time since the photo was more minimal than the painting and it just looked so empty...




And I forgot to mention! Please, feel free to use these pieces in parts, as a whole, do whatever you want with them (draw mustaches, cut them apart, put Robespierre in a dress, whatever). I have made them for you! They are vector artworks, so if I did my work right, they should resize quite nicely without pixelating.

Your art is remarkable. I really liked your Robespierre poster.
In this case I'd just like to say: this is not Saint-Just, this is Ch.Thompson.

Ahh yeah I know! God I keep forgetting to mention these things, my mind is so flighty! I was experimenting with using a photo versus a painting as a reference, so I used Christopher Thompson's look.

There is actually one image of Saint-Just done by Jean-Baptiste Greuze that I'd like to do, but I can't seem to find a larger resolution for it...gotta hit the art history section of the library again!

Seconded.

I posted here already two large resolutions of Saint-Just's portraits:

Wonderful! I was looking for a higher res of that first one, too; now I don't have to split a book on the scanner for it. Thank you!

He does rather look the part.

I think the actor is far too handsome, it's distracting and attracts an interest which is rather contra-productive (girls who identify a handsome actor with the historical character).
Moreover, in my humble opinion, Thompson acting capacities are limited to putting on several faces (angry, pouting, perverse smile-grin). I did like the Louis-must-be-killed speech, though.

Christopher Thompson is Saint-Just
No, he's not.

Christopher Thompson is an actor, and his "talent" in portraying Saint-Just may differ from the person who's judging. In other words: don't ask me.

Christopher Thompson was like a magnet, capturing all the light, devouring the screen every time he appeared. I was stunned, and stuck to the tv. Finally, there's perfection on earth.
I suggest watching La Terreur et la Vertu to see what an actor who's like a "magnet, capturing all the light, devouring the screen every time he appeared" and "perfection on earth" is like.

I answered someone -not sure who- questions about Saint Just letter to Robespierre and other facts about his military mission in Alsace. I`d love to talk to neo jacobins about the revolution and her heroes,so whoever is open to debate just go on my face book page this is sandra di nola...
Ah I think Christopher Thompson was a little too stiff in playin Louis Antoine, sure enough he is good looking just like the real one. I`d say that the polish actor who played Robespierre did a killer job. He understood his character really well, the scene about what happened on 9th Thermidor proves it. So, yeah whoever wants to talk history and politics here I am.
Liberte` ou la mort.
