It's curious how little it took to "shock" the art world back then! As with the Pre Raphaelites who, from our perspective, were making perfectly harmless paintings of Jesus. Now it seems every artist is trying to be shocking and nobody can be shocked. Funny, that!
Sorry I have not been keeping up. I enjoy your articles!

Uh. I was trying to write this on the Monet article. I don't know how this happened lol
Thanks for a good retelling of the complicated history of the Napoleons and France!
Napoleon III was in office when the French Impressionists made their paintings. I'll do an art history article about them soon!
Sounds very interesting, thanks for the heads up, I’ll be on the lookout for it!
