From the pen strokes of Alfred de Musset to the vivid brushstrokes depicting Julius Caesar's demise, these pieces offer a glimpse into the dark side of human nature. Lorenzaccio by Alfred de Musset (1810-57) 1834 (pen & ink on paper): This intriguing precis unveils a tale where tyranny lurks in the shadows, manipulating lives and corrupting souls. The protagonist's struggle against oppressive forces becomes an allegory for society's fight against despotism. A Robber Knight exacting Tribute, 1882 (litho): Here we witness a chilling scene as a tyrant demands tribute from his subjects through fear and intimidation. The artist captures the essence of oppression with meticulous detail, highlighting how power can be abused to exploit those under its grip. The Death of Julius Caesar, detail, 1805-06 (oil on canvas): In this dramatic portrayal of one of history's most infamous assassinations, we witness the fall of a dictator whose reign was marked by tyranny. The painting serves as a reminder that even seemingly invincible rulers are not immune to their own hubris. Britannia crowned by Victory and attended by Plenty and Commerce holds in Chains Envy, Fraud Tyranny and Ambition (engraving): Symbolizing Britannia's triumph over vices that often accompany tyranny - envy, fraud, ambition - this engraving portrays her as a beacon of justice and freedom amidst turbulent times. Go-Daigo driven to hold court in the mountains (litho): This lithograph depicts Emperor Go-Daigo seeking refuge from tyrannical rule within mountainous solitude. It reflects how even leaders can become victims when confronted with oppressive forces beyond their control.
