Bad Ass Classical Art and Music of the week

The great French painter Jacques-Louis David painted this in 1793. It shows the murdered French Revolutionary leader Jean-Paul Marat, laying in a tub after being murdered by a follower of the opposing political party. Theres something that always caught my eye about this painting. I think its because it shows that even the most radical and outspoken of people is rendered silent by death.

















The classical music for this week is on a lighter note......ITS THE 1812 OVERTURE MOTHERFUCKERS
