BBC: Napoleon Bonaparte painting by David identified
A painting of Napoleon Bonaparte by Jacques-Louis David has been identified in New York by a University of Reading researcher.
Does anyone else think Emperor Napoleon bore an uncanny resemblance to the suspiciously French-sounding James Bond villain Le Chiffre, as portrayed by Danish actor Mads Mikkelsen in the movie Casino Royale?
This one has conspiracy written all over it.
I'm reminded of the words of Marcel Duchamp...
Are you OK, oh Grutmeister?
I'm fine, thanks. I thought of some nonsense to write the other day, but, for the life of me, I can't remember what it was. Normal disservice will resume shortly.
That's a relief (as they remarked at Mafeking).
