Text ID: I don't feel guilt at being unsociable, though I may sometimes regret it because my loneliness is painful. But when I move into the world, it feels like a moral fall—like seeking love in a whorehouse.

Fathers as nurturers during the Napoleonic era

Portrait of Monsieur Gaudry giving his daughter a geography lesson, 1812, Louis-Léopold Boilly

The Gaudry portrait is even more a portrayal of “the good father” than a lesson in political geography. The painting provides evidence of a reorientation of the father’s role within the family that had taken place from the eighteenth to the nineteenth centuries. In her study of archetypal family structures during the Revolutionary period, Lynn Hunt traces “the rise and fall of the good father” and his eventual replacement, as an ambivalent figure, by republican fathers “who were now officially depicted as friendly, supportive, and interested in their children.” While the gradual transformation of the king into a good father began before the Revolution (as manifested in the portrait of Louis XVI, and not a tutor, instructing his son in geography), it was not until the Napoleonic period that a positive image of paternalism was explicitly rehabilitated, as Boilly’s commission for a portrait of the yet-childless Napoleon as père de famille so clearly indicates. In the meanwhile, children assumed new importance as the affective center of gravity in representations of families, a shift that is indicated by the painting’s focus on the demure Mlle Gaudry. Rather than reading the Gaudry portrait in twentieth-century terms, as an expression of “unusual sensitivity and psychological insight,” Boilly’s portrayal of an affectionate and respectful relationship between father and daughter is better understood as conforming to a new social construction of the family that came to the fore during the Napoleonic period, in which fathers assumed new roles as nurturers or guides.

Happy Skin Deep Anniversary!

I discovered rumbelle a few days after last year's anniversary so I was determined to make a celebratory edit this year (rip my sleep haha). How is this "Something There" edit different from other ones? Well, this version of the song was sung by Susan Egan (aka original Broadway Belle) and Adam Jacobs (aka original Broadway Aladdin) at the Hollywood in Vienna 2022 concert! I just simply adore this version of the song. I hope you enjoy this :)

So I found this neat drawing of Napoleon by Louis-Léopold Boilly in 1812.

From the book The Art of Louis-Léopold Boilly: Modern Life in Napoleonic France by Susan L. Siegfried.

It’s part of a larger drawing, and I very messily outlined Napoleon’s frame so I could see him better ;)

The piece is called “A Family Imploring the Emperor” in which Napoleon is granting someone clemency.

Chat

@sapphic-hobbit Favourite character? As in singular? :D I really couldn’t pick just one. (Thank you so much for the request despite not knowing the books, my friend! 💜)

No worries, Vetinari is the farthest thing from dead. I just felt like Death might be intrigued by Ankh-Morpork and its citizens and might try to better understand how this city Works. So Vetinari, for all he knows, is probably chatting with a merchant about trade right now, feeling ever so slightly on his guard as he can’t quite place this stranger (nor were the Dark Clerks able to find any background information about him). Intriguing.
