I have been searching the net looking for a translation of the note Marat holds in his hand.<BR/><BR/>Has there been any other thoughts about what this note meant? Besides selfish, obvious ones?Tonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17931485598336005963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2343439372519556254.post-32589725793686138692008-07-01T15:25:00.000-04:002008-07-01T15:25:00.000-04:00This is such an informative post.

Thanks for helping me understand it as a propaganda piece.Ruth Hull Chatlienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08797146501548509911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2343439372519556254.post-40163130995316507102008-07-01T13:30:00.000-04:002008-07-01T13:30:00.000-04:00I'm loving Professor Blanchard - free and right he...I'm loving Professor Blanchard - free and right here in my own home. It's not kindness, either. It's genuine appreciation.<BR/><BR/>Blogs are hard work. I don't know how Fr Jake, Tobias, Jonathan, etc. do it.

I enjoy freeloading and commenting on other people's blogs, but finding something of my own initiative to say can be a real challenge. In the meantime, I'm reverting to Professor Blanchard mode (though I hope to do a little better than that) as I publicly ponder some history that has bugged me for years and years.<BR/><BR/>You are always so very kind.Counterlighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14345956180434795401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2343439372519556254.post-1881874667927371712008-07-01T12:16:00.000-04:002008-07-01T12:16:00.000-04:00Counterlight, why did you wait so long to start a ...Counterlight, why did you wait so long to start a blog? I love yours. I'll let you educate me about the art that I love so much.<BR/><BR/>Ive seen this painting in illustrations so often that I imagined that I had seen the real thing, but it seems not. It's in Brussels, and I've never been there. Unless it was in an exhibit somewhere else.June Butlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01723016934182800437noreply@blogger.com
