I've also written an entry about Saint-Just birthday in my diary. I'm happy and melancholic at the same time.
I've been thinking about the question "Saint-Just physical appareance" long ago my enetring here...and I couldn't solve it! We all know how Robespierre must have been. Danton was quite well shown in all portraits I know about him. Even Hanriot was "very similar to himself" if we can said it this way , if we compare his portraits among them. But there is some cases in which EACH portrait is different to the nex one. Wich ones? Saint-Just's of course...but also Desmoulins, and Barère, and Hébert, and Collot-d'Herbois and Couthon, and Théroigne de Méricourt...For pity sake! How these people really looked like? Desmoulins is the most weird of all the cases: in some portraits he looks gorgeous, in others, a real monster! And Antoine de Saint-Just is always a handsome young man..but in some portraits he appears as having deep black eyes, in others, his eyes are blue; the "hair question" is pretty similar: in some portraits he has black or brown hair, in others, he is a "blondin". Without mentioning other physical features as his nose and mouth. There is paintings in which we may see a big, long nose; in others he has a pretty, tiny one. Some artist depicts him as having tick lips; others shows him with THIN ones...GRRRRR!!!!
Yes; Fatimah. How did he REALLY looked like our Antoine?
