Historical Art - Tumblr Posts
Kiss kiss fall in love~
I got a bit carried away. But I think it was worth it. It was fun drawing petals flying everywhere again, haven’t done that in a while. Two versions, one with hearts and one without. I like both.
Still drawing things that I’m unable to share freely…
Shame on me. 😗
However, one day I’ll definitely post something respectable and fascinating from the historical point of view!
…Even though that glorious day came to me for the last time ages ago. 😑
Well, Fouché ✨🪷
You definitely want to follow this superb artist and amazing specialist in the 18th - early 19th century British affairs! 🌺

Still trying to figure out what to do with this blog, so I've decided to compile some art (that i still like cause i don't like... a lot) people-wise so that the folks out here might get the general idea of who and what I draw???? Idk.
I guess part 1/? being (small, with some intruders)
Liverpool
Damn, I should draw him more...
Now we expand, part 2/? being the disaster that is
Canning
You know, war crimes
Well, talk about expanding... part 3/? (probs 3/3) being the gaslight girlboss gatekeep icon
Castlereagh
I have, like, a lot of pics of him..............................
Good morning, day, evening or night to you, honourable ladies and gentlemen! 🌹
Now that’s a “long time no see”… 👋
Due to overall exhaustion I’ve stoped sharing pretty pretty much anything here on Tumblr, including pieces of information on the matter I’ve grown so fond of - Austrian affairs during the age of Revolutionary and Napoleonic wars.
Almost a year ago I’ve started this blog with a particular idea in mind and I’m still quite passionate about the whole subject! It brings me joy and gets combined naturally with an irresistible urge to depict historical characters who played fairly active roles during that fascinating period of time.
That’s why I’d love to slowly get back on track with a spontaneous artwork I finished last month (well, it’s just that his Birthday is on the 5th of September…)!
It features one of the major figures in the Napoleonic war history - erzherzog Karl von Österreich-Teschen, younger brother of emperor Franz, a capable military commander and responsible administrator who put into practice many essential reforms of the Imperial military apparatus. Later they played an important role in getting Habsburg’s monarchy through the upcoming age of many gales and trials. 🌪️
Unfortunately, the War of 1809 by and large ended his career in the army. Still for a long time he remained one of the key figures in Habsburg’s imperial court, enjoyed a relatively happy life… and got much more opportunities to face omnipresent chancellor Metternich! Naturally. 😅
All in all, one more wholesome historical character to go! 🤲🇦🇹
And since I brought a picture I’m really proud of, I also want to put an informative cherry on top of an illustrative cake - to share a local comical situation featuring the archduke himself. I discovered it while getting familiar with the documents of another prominent Austrian military man…
You can probably guess what’s his name is!

Yep, it’s a fragment from the field-marshal Schwarzenberg’s letter (however, he was only field-marshal lieutenant at the time) written in the summer of 1806, when he had traveled from his precious Bohemian Worlik-estate to Vienna due to some personal matters and the capital greeted him with… a “tempting” proposal that he personally despised. 😬
"I came yesterday before noon, having made a favorable journey without unfortunate complications. I immediately informed the Archduke [Karl] of my arrival, who told me that I should expect a promotion that would be offered to me by the order of the emperor; then I described to him in the most expressive colors the disgust that this fatal post (the post of the Kaiser’s general-adjutant) causes in me. However, he [the Archduke] insisted rather coldly as the emperor himself wished this appointment. Therefore, I had no choice but to explain myself to His Majesty.
This morning I had gone to an audience, where I was received with extreme courtesy, beyond what I could count on. The Emperor took kindly all my reasons and found beyond doubt complete and inevitable demarche of my health. By doing so, he [Emperor Franz] made me hope that he would eventually come into my terms. And at this moment I returned from the Archduke, who told me that the emperor had spoken of me with great praise in his presence and was going to please me with a handwritten notice sent from Baden [a small resort town located not far from Vienna, favoured by those who served in the capital]. It (this very document) is the evidence of my incredible luck.
Tomorrow I expect to go to Baden, where I’ll meet Fanny, as well as Count Wrbna - to discuss all the pressing matters..."
And that’s how prince Karl spared himself from all the additional court routine that would have undoubtedly come with such post. 💦
Perhaps, his graceful allures sown the first seeds of emperor Franz’ animosity towards him that took roots in following years… But at that time Schwarzenberg certainly was the happiest man alive who could get back to his lovely family as soon as possible.
Thank you for your attention as always! 🌺
Vielen Dank~
