Death of Marat (detail) by William Keckler on Flickr.
Jacques-Louis David, 1793.
Although at the time this was meant to be a soft of Pieta tribute to a fallen “hero of the French Revolution,” I’m much more impressed with Charlotte Corday’s bravery in stopping the mouth of a madman who was just sending people to senseless deaths.
ARE. YOU. FUCKING. KIDDING. ME???
