"Baignoire: A Captivating Glimpse into History and Art" Step back in time to the year 1793, where a tragic event unfolded within the confines of a humble bathtub. Charlotte Corday, a young Royalist from Caen, forever altered history as she assassinated Jean Paul Marat. This scene was immortalized by various artists throughout the years. One such depiction is "The Tub - pastel on cardboard, 1886" by Jean Jacques Hauer. Surrendering himself to the scene of Marat's murder, Hauer captured every detail faithfully. Another interpretation comes from Paul Baudry's oil painting on canvas, showcasing Charlotte Corday amidst her fateful act. Moving beyond paintings, photography also played its part in preserving this historical moment. KIM Youngtae's lens at Nantes' Musee des Beaux Arts de Nantes brings us closer to understanding the significance of this event. But let us not forget that it also refers to something more mundane – a bath or tub itself. In Edgar Degas' "The Pastel tub, " we witness cats taking their morning bath with an amusing twist on human postures. This theme transcends time and art forms; even woodcuts like "The Bath" from 1894 capture our fascination with bathing rituals. And who can overlook Venus herself attending to her toilette in a painting attributed to the School of Fontainebleau? From Gabrielle d'Estrees captivatingly portrayed in all her glory as Marquise of Monceaux during the 16th century to Jacques Louis David's representation of Marat's murder – these artworks transport us through different eras and perspectives. Lastly, we cannot ignore how baignoire has become synonymous with theater and variety shows over time – becoming an integral part of cultural entertainment. Intriguingly diverse yet interconnected by this common thread, baignoire invites us to explore history, artistry, and the human experience.
