Hi guysssss! I’m back!! 🥺🙌💗 I’m slaying in college btw
I wanna draw more of Napoleon’s marshals! Their uniforms are sooo cool. Look how plain Napoleon is compared to his marshals 😭
I know that Lannes isn’t that tall, but I’m too unbothered to correct it 🤷♀️🥲
How is everyone?? 😘

Post-Austerlitz Complaints and Recriminations
(aka Imperial Alert: The girls are fightingggg)
"After Austerlitz, as after Ulm, there was a rich crop of mutual complaints and recriminations among the Marshals. A bitter feud between Bernadotte and Davout was developing and there were respective rows between Lannes and Soult, Soult and Davout, and Murat and Lannes. To crown everything Lannes to offense at the Emperor's bulletin which he felt, gave insufficient credit to the work done by Lannes' corps, and took himself off on a prolonged, self-awarded leave. It is significant that while Napoleon was swift to punish dereliction of duty by his Marshals in future years, he let this peccadillo pass."
(Humble, Richard. Napoleon’s Peninsular Marshals. 1975.)

“It is generally said that there are certain wounds, to which death seems preferable; but this is very seldom the case, I assure you. It is at the moment we are going to part with existence that we cling to it with all our might. Lannes, the most courageous of men, deprived of both his legs, would not hear of death.”
— Napoleon on the death of Marshal Lannes

Hello ! My friend wants to know if there are any films or novels about Lannes, or that feature him in any significant capacity. I don't really know of any, but I figured that if anyone did it would be you. 💕
Unfortunately, Jean-Boy gets credit for some very secondary parts in films about Napoleon, most of them rather silly and none of which he'd approve. He gets a small clip in Abel Gance's 1960 movie "Austerlitz," the original French version rather than the edited English-dubbed version, and shows up in the disastrous 2002 mini-series "Napoleon," for a brief appearance that was meant to be heart-rending but sent me off in gales of laughter. I shudder to think he may appear, however briefly, in Ridley Scott's upcoming hot mess, "Napoleon."
As for novels, he isn't featured any more than in the movies. However, there are two written by French authors that are nearly impossible to come by but are actually very good. One is an impossibly romantic--and pretty inaccurate--tale of Jean-Boy's first marriage to the vivacious and rather empty-headed Polette; the other is what can best be described as a "historical biography." Both of these authors were born and raised in Lectoure, Jean's hometown, so they know stuff.
And one of these days--if I don't die of old age first--I might actually finish and publish my little historical fiction trilogy. I've posted a few excerpts on my blog from time to time.
