List of Notable Medical Professionals who lived during the Napoleonic Era.

This is a growing list of individuals who were active during this era in some form (be it student or full physician). If you have anyone you believe deserves to be on this list or you have something to add, please let me know!

Note:

For now, all links will lead to their Wikipedia page articles, if available. This helps avoid confusion, as many people share common names. I plan to profile posts when I find time and energy to do them.

This is a list that is being actively added to. As of June 24th, 2025, I have over 900 names to double check- at least to the best of my ability. To keep things manageable and more enjoyable, I’ll be sharing my findings in chunks and reblog each updated edition.

This list has people with very little information on them past the bare minimum amount that makes me think it's plausible they are active at this time. So any information you have on them- or if they are not suited for this list- is greatly appreciated.

Has all the academically based napoleonic blogs disappeared, or is my tumblr algorithm jacked?

Fixating on a specific part of history is really fun and all, but it has left me with incurable trust issues regarding popularized quotes and facts from historical periods I'm not well versed in. Digging beneath the surface and looking at primary sources makes you realize how much bs is being regarded as (non-academic) mainstream knowledge. And all because some historian from the victorian era will straight-up have pulled a claim out of their ass or taken Mr. Petty McLiar at face value, whose memoirs were written 20 years after the actual events and contain so much bias and misinformation to be classified as fiction

Primadonna Soult Animatic

A complete satirical cesspool of history, myth, fandom, and possibly Marshal Soult.

I feel bad to bother by tagging, but just a quick thanks to @josefavomjaaga and @cadmusfly simply for making their Soult posts bc that’s where I got a very good chunk of inspiration & info to make this silly thing

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

I’ve only seen a few but still. None of them look even remotely ugly

Warning, unserious oc lore-drop incoming

(This is very much still a wip, so stuff might change in the future, probably when I have more time to do research lol)

Most of the story takes place during the empire

+ some of the more important side characters

In short, they're all messy people who are effed up in their own unique ways, trying to do what they think is best (and making everything worse instead)

Feel free to ask questions about them!! (there is nothing I enjoy more than yapping about my ocs)

The urge to dwelve into the rich history, delight in interpreting sources, and try to represent the past as accurately as possible

vs.

The urge to draw old men yaoi

[le4d-poisoning]

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!!
