Completing My Previous Saint-Just Post...

I didn't link correctly the page on Saint-Just's portraits, it's actually a full dossier on an iconographical study of Saint-Just. It gets slightly unnerving when the author of the site starts speaking of Deviant Art and Fan Art. Fandom meets History. ^^; Apart from it, there's a nice section on souvenirs from the Bicentenaire, with these two medals I had never seen before:





Awesome, aren't they? What's interesting with the second one is that they made a series of those medals with French Revolution "couples" *coughs*: Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI, Marat and Hébert, Danton and Desmoulins and Robespierre and Saint-Just. *re-coughs*

Also, I'm bringing your attention on The Saint-Just Action Figures Figurines and The Saint-Just Stamps. This one is very lovely:



Also, citoyennemiyuki, you made it on her website. Uh-huh.

Hm. I hope she'll never make a study of fanfiction.......

Finally, check her page on the engravings -- there are some rare finds in there! Particularly, this one from the Centenaire in 1889, which is really nice and this one in my icon that I FINALLY see in colour!!!


A second point to this post, I found the Communist Militants of Arras (that's so cute, btw), announcing the play "Thermidor" in two days. And there is a very lovely re-interpretation of a Thermidor painting:



Looks like Robespierre is even more crumbling. Nice to see someone else saw that the person holding him back ought to be Saint-Just.

what i could do with a saint-just action figure...that would be totally awesome. The poster for the thermidor play is really nice. I don't know why i like it so much but i do. I'm so jealous.

XD

Nice medals too...i have no idea what to say about that..

I think anyhow..
