As a child, my favorite artwork in our home was a print of Cornelis Bisschop's "Woman Peeling Apples," 1670. Second favorite was Lawrence's "Pinkie," 1794. The pretty picture of Pinkie hasn't withstood the test of time for me. The beauty of "Woman Peeling Apples" -- timeless.

#OnThisDay 1794, Robespierre is arrested along with his brother, Saint-Just, Lebas and Couthon, all members of the Committee of Public Safety. The day before, he had made a speech at the Convention, heavy with threats, denouncing a "league of rascals" but without giving names.
7/27(1794)は #テルミドールのクーデター の日。
前日の国民公会で「粛清されなければならない議員がいる」と対象を告げず発言し、恐怖政治に怯えた全ての反対派を敵に回してしまった #ロベスピエール 弾劾決議はあっという間に議決されます。
彼は自殺を試みますが失敗し、翌日断頭台に送られます…
#Holiday 18th-century style: in 1794 the royal family went to #Weymouth, where a typical day was: morning walking on the esplanade, back to read for 3 hours, dinner, more reading, back onto the esplanade where we 'met those we saw in the morning'

Thomas Lawrence painted his first of 4 portraits of Castlereagh in 1794. The portrait, striking for its dark, drama, shows Castlereagh as a serious young man with a focused gaze at around the time that his parliamentary career was beginning. 2/
