  1. As much as I love this period of history, he was the Hitler of his time and it’s a good thing he died.

  2. French here. Do you really think you can disrespect Napoléon like that ? Of course you can ! Have fun he was an asshole anyway.
    Fucker put an end to the first republic and now people think he is a symbol of the revolution for some reason.

  3. For bad or for good he was one of the prominent personalities of his time and entire history. But he was also an example of how a single man in power can be an extreme risk for his own people, expecially if he thinks he can win against the whole world.

  4. I like this painting a lot, it shows us a man with a different face than other paintings of him. Makes you wonder how he really looked like. (and yeah, of course he looked thinner on his death bed, but still)
