Dans un autre registre, les Beaux-Arts exposent "Le dessin romantique, de Géricault à Victor Hugo". Des thèmes comme la mort et Eros, le gothique, la nature exacerbent le propos via une trentaine d’œuvres travaillées au graphite, à la plume, à l’aquarelle. https://t.co/TZ67FtjmMP

On this 200th anniversary of Napoleon's death let us give pause & contemplation to the elegant af uniforms he made his soldiers wear. Velvet trousers? Red lined cape matching under-armour, different polishes of metal - the fashion detail!
