This is the time in Napoleon’s life when everyone described him as being extraordinarily thin, to the point of almost looking frail.
Here is a bust of Napoleon from 1798, by Louis-Simon Boizot:

Louis Jean François Lagrenée, French painter, 1725/1805
Self-portrait on metal at 19
Tumblr media
A student of Carle van Loo, admitted to the Royal School of Protected Students, Lagrenée won the Prix de Rome in 1749 and stayed at the Villa Medici, Académie de France in Rome from 1750 to 1754.
Tumblr media
Self-portrait at age 28 made in Rome, the painting bears this inscription: "L. De Lagrenée arrivé à Rome le 13 nov. 1750 peint par luy-même""
At 24 years old, the young Lagrenée must have taken great pleasure in caressing this languorous canvas with his brush...

explicit sapphic love scene, The two friends or the “ Froteuses” 1749, produced the year he obtained the Rome Prize
A prolific artist, Lagrenée stands out particularly in the small cabinet paintings with gallant mythologies, graceful allegories that amateurs snapped up.

`1768, Psyche surprises sleeping Cupid.

1767, Mercury, Harrow and Aglaura.
His refined and suave style imitated by the Bolognese painters of the Seicento earned him the flattering nickname of “modern Albani”.

1768, Diana and Endymion

1776, Venus and Nymphs Bathing
His brother, Jean Jacques LAGRENÉE, 1739/1821 also a painter was appointed in 1785, with Boizot, co-artistic director of the Manufacture de Sèvres. Author in 1787 of the Etruscan service for the Queen's dairy in Rambouillet, Lagrenée designed the famous “bowl-sein”.

The soft porcelain bowl is independent of the hard porcelain tripod, decorated with goat heads, on which it rests. Contrary to legend, it was not "molded" on the breast of Queen Marie-Antoinette.

Voyage au musée de la Révolution française de Vizille (janvier 2017) – Quatrième partie
1 : Buste de Michel Lepeletier, an II
2 : Buste de Joseph Chalier, an II
3 : JFJ Leriche d’après LS Boizot, Le temps dévoile la Vérité et abat l’Ignorance, 1788
4 : Jean Nicolas Louis Durand et Jean Thomas Thibault, Projet de Temple à l’Égalité, an II
5 : Jacques Guillaume Legrand et Jacques Molinos, Projet de Palais National, 1791
6 : Attribué à Robert Guillaume Dardel, Le Peuple français, an II
7 : Claude Ramey, Minerve instruisant la jeunesse, vers 1787
8 : Inscription dédiée à Marat, 1793-an II
9-10 : Charles Ronot, Les derniers Montagnards, 1882. Selon la description :
L’identité des six personnages du tableau [il s’agit des “martyrs de Prairial”] n’est pas toujours certaine. À terre, ensanglanté, le dos au spectateur, ce ne peut qu’être ROMME (né en 1750), qui le premier se frappa au visage. À gauche, ce serait GOUJON (1766), qui va se donner un coup mortel au cœur et qui aurait prononcé ces dernières paroles : “Je meurs, pour le peuple et pour l’égalité.” Derrière lui, sans doute faut-il voir BOURBOTTE (1763), animé de la fougue de la jeunesse et qui imite le geste de Goujon. Les trois autres personnages, échelonnés sur les marches à droite, sont DUQUESNOY (1749), SOUBRANY (1752) et DUROY (1753), mais en l’absence de renseignements précis, leur identification demeure conjecturale.
