French Empire - Tumblr Posts

Soooo I’m a little bit at a loss and just simply try to post… something, I guess??? 😂

Few drawings from the past year which I still adore!

The first one represents count Michail Andreevich Miloradovich, one of the bravest and most restless generals of the Russian Empire during Napoleonic wars. 🇷🇺🇷🇸🇺🇦 ✨

The second one shows Dominique-Jean baron Larrey, famous french field surgeon. 🇫🇷🩸

And in the third picture we have the one and only Armand Augustin Louis marquis de Caulaincourt, french general and diplomat who served twice as french ambassador in Saint-Petersburg. 🇫🇷✒️🗡

Since an introduction was made as well as the first series about Napoleonic era, I can continue posting mostly art with my heart and mind at ease. X)

So for the past year and a half I drew a bunch of stuff with Murat! Unfortunately, some of it doesn’t look good enough but I did my best to arrange a selection of my works that I still like nowadays.

Here they are: a drawing study from the famous Canova’s bust (except for his moustache sorry Joachim I’m too weak…); cartoonish Murat with the flags of two countries which I associate with him the most; a bunch of ✨drama✨ concerning the 13th of October; small thing I made for a drawing ask in our Russian community of Napoleonic history lovers as well as teenager Joachim with his horse friend! 🐎

Pair drawings of Murat and Ney I made some time ago for myself and my dear friend @michel-feuilly ✨

They were born out of a spontaneous experiment with different brushes and I’m still very fond of the result. :)

I swear to you, my dear followers and all the Napoleonic history lovers: I’m capable of drawing not only Austrians and I have a proof! A very hooligan one but still. X)

Here it is! Ahem. 👑

So, who do we have here? Oh, gosh, what an honour! Their Majesties, the king of Sweden and the King of Naples, are certainly sharing the same train of thought which considers the preservation of their crown in the years 1813-1814… 🤭

What can I say about the whole affair? Well, no shame, for sure, only bright royal future in a foresight!

Love these two gascon bastards despite any mischievous combinations they had to perform during their turbulent lives. If only both succeeded in their claims… That could have been the strangest and the perkiest pair of monarchs in all the post-Napoleonic wars Europe!
