L'empereur sans merci
salt-and-honey (PepperHoney)
Summary:
Redraw of Frank Dicksee's La belle dame sans merci with Napoleon and Laurence.
Notes:
- For stargrazing.
Do I ship these two? Not really. Was I overwhelmed by the urge to draw them as this painting’s characters as soon as I saw stargrazing's request? Absolutely.
You mentioned liking 'art directly inspired by an old painting'. Here's my take.
(See the end of the work for more notes.)
Notes:
Top left flowers are black dahlias for betrayal (or should I say treason?) and bottom right are Sweet Williams for longing :)
