Friedrich von Amerling (Austro-Hungarian, 1803–1887) • The Young Eastern Woman • 1838 • Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland, Ohio

Although the artist provocatively titled this painting Young Eastern Woman, it is obvious that the model is not Asian, but merely wears a Turkish costume. The rich fabrics and glowing light create an exotic atmosphere, revealing a Western fascination with "Oriental" images and themes.

The Napoleon Movie

So I know that I am SUPER late to the party (I'm sorry y'all I haven't logged into this account since july 😭), but I wanna give my opinion on the Napoleon movie.

It's negative, obviously. But since I've already seen a lot of people say what I wanted to already, I'll say some things that I haven't seen anyone comment on:

When I was scrolling on TikTok, I saw someone say how the Napoleon movie was meant to show the more human side of Napoleon. Fair enough. But the movie didn't do that and it was marketed as an action movie. If they really wanted to showcase Napoleon's human side, why didn't they showcase his youth (he was bullied and correct me if I'm wrong I got this from Andrew Roberts book, even suicidal at one point in his life. He wrote a self insert book about a failed relationship...). Or why didn't they even mention The Napoleonic Code? That code is literally the basic law structure across the world yet you didn't even bother to mention it? It's the literal key to Napoleon's views and the man himself.

Good thing about the movie: Napoleon II appeared!!!
