    Apparently based, at least to some extent, on actual history. “This shows the immediate aftermath of a summary beheading performed on the steps of the Alhambra, during the Moorish kingdom prior to the Christian Reconquista of 1492.” See https://eclecticlight.co/2017/01/14/brief-candles-henri-regnault-the-history-painter-who-became-history/.

    “Then on 19 January 1871, during the second Battle of Buzenval, near St Cloud to the west of the city of Paris, he was among the defenders and was killed in battle. He was 27.”

    The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!

    He left it dead, and with its head

    He went galumphing back.”

    (best viewed by Google Chrome which can automatically translate most pages as necessary) has info and links that point to info about this painting. The strip coloration image comes from the 2nd artist info URL; but, that image has been updated.

    all have info about this artist, perhaps in addition to what’s pointed to by the first URL. This is the first work by him used here.
