Apotheosis of the French Heros Who Died for Their Country During the War for Freedom after Anne-Louis Girodet

Written on August 27, 2008

In addition to having the longest title i’ve ever encountered in a work of art, Apotheosis is also one of the most exhaustingly detailed and exquisitely interesting.  Gorgeous angelic maidens welcome the deceased french soldiers who trail off into darkness, an army dog is greeted by a cute little black bear, and in the lower left a demon fights his way into the frame.  And yet all of these take second fiddle to the benevolent (and balding) god.  The composition and energy of the piece inspired me to try my hand at a remix, and I’m quite happy with the result.

Hope you enjoy it!
