Why are all the medical staff from this time period hot?

Look at me painting Larrey again

I thought I'd dedicate him a more ambitious piece since he's one of my favorite historical characters and genuinely almost inspired me to become a doctor lol

Hello Frevblr,

I don't know the history of the revolution well enough, maybe some of you can help me out with a question. Have any of you read the play Danton's Tod / Danton's Death by Georg Büchner? How historically accurate is it? I know that he used numerous historical sources and actual quotes from speeches, but he also creates his own narrative and characterization of the historical figures (Robespierre especially gets a bit of the tyrant treatment) and I wondered how much they stray away from the historical facts

Anyway, thanks in advance for any additional information!!

Forgot to post this, but I recently remembered one of the monuments erected 1899 to commemorate the two battles of Zürich

there's a poem on the back, thought I'd give an English translation

How our town suffered a hundred years ago, When the stranger fought with the stranger, When bullets rang through the silent forest, The columns of fire smoked, Flags waved, The father tells the son and he then admonishes the grandson: Boy become a man! Even if those old wounds healed, Don't forget how our mothers suffered; The enemy's army devoured the children's bread, The misery was great, immense was the hardship! If the city is never to experience such suffering, The coming generation must rally: Keep watch and hold the defense, To protect Swiss borders, Swiss honour!

Even though the city itself remained pretty much unharmed, the poem makes reference to the uh- abundantly-practiced act of looting that took place in order to feed the armies
