Announce: Update of a Saint-Just Website

[maelicia.livejournal.com]

This website on Saint-Just was updated. There are some very interesting parts:

- An analysis of his portraits (and I think I finally know which one was kept by the Le Bas family...) + one I hadn't seen before (but it's not so pretty).

- The colourful portraits of his parents. I hadn't seen them in colour before, I think, so I'm glad. Hm. I think he has his mother's mouth and the shape of her eyes, somehow... and, the nose of both. ^^;

- A page on Robespierre's 250th -- where estellacat and I were. And, look, I found myself:



^^; I was very likely playing with my camera if you're wondering what I was doing. ._. /shameless self-pimping.



I don't know if there's anybody in France at the moment, but there is, on November 23rd (yes, that's in three days), the presentation of a play on Thermidor in Arras:

23 novembre 2008: pour les 250 ans de Robespierre, l'ARBR organise à Arras la lecture par la compagnie "A livre ouvert" d'une pièce inédite de Caroline Fregeac "THERMIDOR". Rendez-vous à 16 heures, à l'Office culturel d'Arras.

It's on the page of news where you can also find a quite girl-looking portrait of Saint-Just too, ughh ._.

Wow - his parents. There's a real nose thing going on there, isn't there?

Thanks for the update! Ouch, I see Saint-Just's sister got her father's nose.

I am in France right now, but I am in Paris and I can't make it up to Arras for the weekend. Zut! I've been wondering if there's anyone on this board who lives in Paris or the surrounding areas. It'd be rather funny if this were a board of French Revolution fans without a single person from Paris (except for myself who doesn't really count).

I presume you mean the anonymous pastel drawing with the centre parting and blue jacket with buttons? It does look very like the bust David D'Angers said he made from a pastel borrowed from the Le Bas family - it also looks very like the drawing one book I have says was drawn by his landlady that isn't shown here (though I suppose it's possible the drawing/etching in the book was made from the pastel by someone else, rather than being a preparation drawing for the pastel...)
