Jean-Antoine Houdon (French, 1741-1828)
St. John the Baptist, 1766-67
All four Gospels place their discussions of Jesus’s ministry in the context of the work of John the Baptist, who is presented as the one who points the way to the kingdom of God and to Jesus as the one predicted by scripture to bring this kingdom into being.

«Por tanto, a fin de que este pacto social no sea una vana fórmula, encierra tácitamente este compromiso: que sólo por sí puede dar fuerza a los demás, y que quienquiera se niegue a obedecer la voluntad general será obligado a ello por todo el cuerpo. Esto no significa otra cosa sino que se le obligará a ser libre, pues es tal la condición, que dándose cada ciudadano a la patria le asegura de toda dependencia personal; condición que constituye el artificio y el juego de la máquina política y que es la única que hace legítimos los compromisos civiles, los cuales sin esto serían absurdos, tiránicos y estarían sujetos a los más enormes abusos.»
Jean-Jacques Rousseau: Contrato social. Espasa Calpe, pág. 49. Madrid, 2007.

A WHITE MARBLE BUST OF MARÉCHAL SOULT (1769-1851) by Jean-Antoine Houdon (Versailles 1741-1828 Paris), 1813)
'There are only two known marble busts of Maréchal Soult by the great French sculptor Jean-Antoine Houdon. The first was created for the salle des Maréchaux in the Palais des Tuileries and was displayed among other portrait busts of France's leading marshals, generals and navy men. However the bust disappeared in 1871 following the great fire at the Tuileries. The second bust was given to Soult's family, and is mostly likely the present sculpture. This second bust is recorded to be dated 1812, while our bust is dated 1813. However, the pen inscription to the reverse indicates that the bust descended from the family of Count Pierre de Mornay Soult de Dalmatie, Marquis de Mornay Montchevreuil (1837-1905), who was the grandson of Maréchal Soult via Soult's daughter, Joséphine Louise Hortense Soult de Dalmatie (1804-1862).'

Halloween was yesterday so I'm late, but look at the spooky busts of the place de la Révolution in Montpellier
I mean, I don't know what went wrong with the reproductions of the David d'Angers busts, but they look very rough and cursed
From top to bottom and left to right: Couthon, Saint-Just, Jussieu, Sieyès, Lafayette, and La Révellière-Lépeaux without his famous microbangs mullet. The pictures aren't mine, they're from here.
See the original David d'Angers busts of Saint-Just and Couthon for comparaison
It seems mostly a problem with the d'Angers reproductions cause the other busts in the same place are...well, still cursed...but not as rought looking?
From top to bottom, left to right: Marat by ???, Danton by Paul Eugène Victor Bacquet, Desmoulins by François Martin, Barnave by Jean-Antoine Houdon, Manon Roland by Emile Carlier, and Bailly by Louis-Pierre Deseine. The pictures aren't mine, they're from here.
And then there's the Robespierre by Claude-André Deseine, who's doing alright and has some spiders friends 🕷🕷🕷 (picture from here)

Soooo I've been studying Art History for 5 years now, and my curious ass was wondering if ancient Greek or Roman statues of Morpheus had ever been discovered (very unlikely, or at least they had never been identified as such)
(I was right)
ANYWAY, I've searched a bit and boom:
Morpheus, by French sculptor Jean-Antoine Houdon in 1777, currently exposed in the Louvre Museum
(look at that dramatic hoe tho)
Okay but seriously can you imagine priestess! reader seeing this statue and being like "bitch you failed his fine ass" like wow ma'am calm down lmao
