Happy Valentine's Day with Napoleon and Josephine 💖

Napoleon and Josephine

I love them, they are my favourite couple ever since I studied French history at middle school. I know that she probably didn't love him at the beginning of the marriage, they cheated on each other and broke up, but I also know that they remained good friends after the divorce, and I like to think that they might have cleared up and gotten back together, if an afterlife exists (I hope so). I know that I probably have strange ideas, because the majority of people doesn't ship real people or people dead for 200 years.

Sorry for this outburst, but I didn't know any other place to express myself, I was a bit afraid of other people's judgments😅

Ps. I think that "Summertime Sadness" by Lana Del Rey is good for them (or maybe "I wanna be yours" by Arctic Monkeys)

CREDITS: I found this beautiful drawing on Pinterst, published by "Cecilia", but this work was drawn by rivaldii

Court Suit

c.1810

France

This three piece suit is exemplary of skilled French embroidery and the silhouette of men's court wear during the time of Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821). Bonaparte revived the importance of court traditions when he crowned himself Emperor in 1804. This revival necessitated the recreation of acceptable court dress, which had been defunct since the elaborate and costly court of Louis XVI (1754-1793) prior to the French Revolution. The intricate embroidery pattern is intriguingly mimicked between the waistcoat and coat, reinforcing its status as a full suit. (The MET)

Went to a small exhibition at the Musée du Chablais in Thonon-Les-Bains about the three first Empire generals from the area (Joseph-Marie Dessaix, Amé-Pierre Chastel and Pierre-Louis Dupas) and at the end of the exhibit they had tables and chairs with Who's who games, Empire edition 🤭
