   He looks like he’s feeling a bit stabby.
   Interesting how in 1771 he painted a cursor arrow in the lower right corner, how did Jacq know about the future?

   Enlarged image can be found here (with a short description), or at the only work by this artist, so far, to appear in Mr. Melcher’s blog.
   
   The Oath of Brutus; Death of Lucretia [AKA Brutus, Lucretius (father of Lucretia) and Collatinus (her husband) Vow to Avenge her Death and to Drive the Tarquins from Rome] isn’t currently described online by its current-location.
   
   Another coloration image can be found here (Google translated). It identifies 4 of the 5 individuals (Brutus isn’t the one with the raised dagger). Another work titled The Oath of Brutus by this artist is shown here. The artist’s Wikipedia page and tiny collection.

    Hmm … it isn’t in Mr. Melcher’s blog entry (only link in my earlier comment). Yeah, interesting.

    P.S. This Brutus lived around 500 BC. The Brutus, who assassinated Julius Caesar, lived roughly 450 years later.
