I finally removed the remaining things in my queue and will be reblogging what I still felt like reblogging on my new blog(s) that I’m active on now. I might delete this blog at some point or I might just leave it here. Anyway, if you’re interested in following me on my other accounts, send me a message! I won’t be posting the link to them publicly because of reasons.

Voltaire y Emilie

Aunque la foto es de los dos, la interesante es ella: Emilie du Chatelet. De Voltaire ya se habla mucho y en muchos sitios. Voltaire fue el amante de esta mujer. Ella fue una brillante física y matemática del S. XVIII. Sí entonces hubiera existido el feminismo, tal como hoy lo conocemos, habría sido una de sus lideres. Creía firmemente en el derecho de la mujer para jugar en igualdad de condiciones con los hombres.

Para poder asistir a las tertulias que los brillantes matemáticos de la época celebraban en la cafetería Gradot, se vio obligada a vestir como un hombre.

Su amante, Voltaire, la describió como “un gran hombre cuya única defecto era haber nacido mujer”. Al igual que otras mujeres a lo largo de la historia (Hipatia, Artemisia Gentileschi, Boadicea…), sus aventuras siempre son mejores que las de los hombres, al fin y al cabo las de los hombres son siempre la misma contada de maneras diferentes.

Emilie murió en 1745 durante un parto.

Jag talar inte spanska, men detta är intressant!

For all my Spanish-speaking followers.

Here is a Napoleon for Miss oneangrypixie! I regret there is no Josephine though :[ But that just leaves options for the future!

I have really wanted to do something with Jacques Louis David for a while now; he’s one of my favorite artists and artists’ obsessions are sometimes quite amusing. Like David’s fascination with Napoleon’s “classically structured” face. Hear, hear, this artist certainly agrees; young Napoleon’s portraits are pretty rawr

If anyone is interested, the interview is here: http://abcnews.go.com/Nightline/video/guy-doll-man-models-womens-clothes-14524558

It’s amazing how unaware the interviewer is. Some of the questions she asks are just not-so-good. But Andrej handles it with class and brilliance.

Dear lord, that interviewer actually made me cringe at points.

Worth reblogging just for Andre’s face, though.

Documento de abertura dos Portos Brasileiros a Nações Amigas (1808)

Primeira ação de Dom João VI, regente e futuro rei de Portugal, ao chegar em Salvador fugindo de Napoleão. Essa ação acabou com anos de isolamento imposto por Portugal. A abertura favoreceu principalmente a Inglaterra.

Opening of Brazilian Ports to Friendly Nations (1808)

This was the first action taken by Dom João VI (regent and future King of Portugal) upon arriving in the Brazilian city of Salvador after fleeing Europe during the Napoleonic Wars. Dom João VI’s edict ended years of isolation imposed by the colonial Portuguese government, and favored trade with England above all other nations.

Brazil would become independent from Portugal in 1822, when Dom João VI’s son, Dom Pedro, installed himself as emperor.
