Robespierre and Book
I wanted to depict Robespierre, a very important political figure in the French Revolution. His story always interested me, especially the complex nature of his character. I began researching him around December 2020, and I originally painted this piece about him last school year in March. Since then, I've made a lot of technical improvements to my work, so at the beginning of this school year, I decided to paint over the original acrylic piece in oil to refine it.
