I assume he was a Virgo...but very close to being a Leo.
The woman in my life was born on the 26th...so that's very very close to being an amusing coincidence. My own birthday is very close to Billaud-Varenne's, but not quite that close. (In the day and the month, not the year!)
As far as the differing versions of how he looked...that reminds me of the old story that George Washington (first President of the USA) was portrayed in differing ways. Some even claimed that it wasn't the same man. I think it was Robert Anton Wilson who suggested (probably at least partly joking) that Washington had been replaced by Adam Weishaupt of the Bavarian Illuminati.
Also...the idea of taking portraits from the past and recasting them into the present is cool.
Saint-Just...Virgo?
