Misha Glenny and guests discuss the French portrait painter Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun (1755 - 1842). From her teens she delighted her high society subjects in and around Paris, notably Marie Antoinette who she painted around 30 times, and she invariably found ways to show her sitters at their best. Some critics were affronted that she, a young woman, dared paint at all and, when they saw how good her portraits were, some spread a rumour that surely this could not really be her work and she must have had a secret male lover finishing her portraits in a studio. The French Revolution forced Vigée Le Brun out of France and so she set off from one European court to another to find more success from Naples to Vienna to St Petersburg and to London, eventually settling back in France. Today her works are on show in major galleries around the world.WithRosalind Polly Blakesley Master of Pembroke College and Professor of Russian and European Art at the University of CambridgeRobert Wenley Deputy Director of Collections and Research at the Barber Institute of Fine Arts, University of BirminghamAnd Francesca Whitlum-Cooper Curator of Later Italian, Spanish and French Paintings at The National Gallery, London.Producer: Simon TillotsonReading list:Joseph Baillio, Katharine Baetjer and Paul Lang (eds), Vigée Le Brun (exhibition catalogue in English, Metropolitan Museum of Art, 2016)Joseph Baillio et al., Elisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun: 1755-1842 (exhibition catalogue in French, Grand Palais, Paris, 2015/16)Rosalind P.

Lindsey Graham's death last week at 71 was as remarkable for the senator's relative "youth" as its possible political and electoral consequences, so much so that it actually prompted conspiracy theories about the precise nature of his passing. Meanwhile, 84-year old Mitch McConnell's status as among the living remains shrouded in mystery, and former president 83-year old former president Joe Biden announced that his memoir would be published in November via his cadaver-esque presence in a promotional video. In short, everywhere we look the signs of our decline into a sclerotic gerontocracy are present, and perhaps no one has approached this problem as comprehensively as Samuel Moyn in his new book, Gerontocracy in America: How the Old Are Hoarding Power and Wealth—and What to Do About It. In this episode we talk with Sam about the historical precedents for our gerontocracy; the nature, extent, and causes of it; why his book is not an attack on the elderly; and possibilities for creatively rewriting our society's intergenerational contract; and more.

Why doesn't history feel like history while we're living through it? The French Revolution. The outbreak of World War I. The Roaring Twenties. Looking back, these moments seem obvious, dramatic, and inevitable. But for most of the people who lived through them, they felt surprisingly ordinary. In this episode of Context with Brad Harris, historian Brad Harris explores the gap between lived history and remembered history. Why has Louis XVI's famous journal entry—"Nothing"—been misunderstood for more than two centuries? Why did most Americans experience the Roaring Twenties very differently from the version we remember today? And why do even civilization-changing events quickly become part of everyday life? Drawing on the work of historian Fernand Braudel, eyewitness accounts from 1914, and examples ranging from the French Revolution to artificial intelligence, this episode argues that history is shaped by two powerful forces: hindsight compresses the past into memorable stories, while human beings rapidly normalize even the most extraordinary changes. If you've ever wondered how future generations will remember the 2020s, or whether we're overlooking the real turning points of our own era, this episode is for you. Topics: French Revolution, Louis XVI, Fernand Braudel, Annales School, World War I, Roaring Twenties, history, historical memory, hindsight, artificial intelligence, civilization, culture, philosophy of history.

For centuries in the villages of southwestern France and northern Spain, there was a group of people who looked like everyone else, spoke the same language, prayed to the same God and were still treated as if they carried some invisible curse. These were the Cagots: forced to live in segregated hamlets, made to use separate church doors and fonts, banned from touching public water or marrying “normal” neighbors, and branded with symbols like a goose's foot, even though no one could agree on what was supposedly wrong with them or where they had come from in the first place.Over hundreds of years, myths piled up, were they lepers, heretics, Goths, Saracens, cursed builders?, but modern research suggests they weren't racially or physically different at all, just victims of a prejudice so deep that by the time the French Revolution finally broke their legal chains, many Cagot families chose to erase their own identity to survive, leaving behind one of Europe's strangest outcast histories: a hated “caste” with no clear origin story and almost no trace.

What happens when biblical beliefs are labeled as "hate speech"? Alan Smith and Jeff Rowland examine the growing pressure on Bible-believing Christians and warn how social labels can become legal and social restrictions. In this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show, the conversation begins with plenty of humor, including Alan's new house-building project, two unusual sponsors, toilet plungers, and chair yoga. The discussion then turns to a serious report about a Finnish parliamentarian who faced legal consequences over written and social media statements supporting the biblical definition of marriage. Allan and Jeff examine how Christian teachings are being classified as offensive, harmful, or dangerous in parts of Europe and North America. They discuss the possibility of hate speech laws affecting pastors, churches, employment, travel, professional licensing, public office, and the ability to speak freely from the pulpit. The hosts also address the response within the church, including apathy, complacency, progressive theology, and the danger of remaining silent while religious freedom narrows. They compare current events with historical examples involving Christians under the Roman Empire, the French Revolution, and communist regimes. This episode raises important questions about the First Amendment, censorship, biblical marriage, religious liberty, political ideology, and the responsibility of Christians to stand firmly on Scripture.

Painted during the French Revolution in 1793, it captures the assassination of Jean-Paul Marat, one of the leaders of the Revolution.

Today's homily by Fr. Chris Alar reflected on the inspiring life of St. Kateri Tekakwitha, the first Native American saint, whose unwavering faith in Christ led her to endure rejection, suffering, and persecution after her baptism. Despite the hardships she faced, her last words, "Jesus, I love You," beautifully expressed a life completely surrendered to God.Fr. Alar contrasted St. Kateri's courageous witness with the growing indifference toward the Christian faith in today's culture, reminding us not to take the gift of Baptism for granted. He also reflected on historical attacks against Christianity, including the anti-Christian persecution during the French Revolution and the Nazi regime's assault on the dignity of human life through its forced sterilization policies.Readings for July 14th 2026: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/071426.cfm ★ Support this podcast ★

America and France launched near-identical revolutions—only one survived. Here's why.In this Freedom Sunday message, Pastor Stephen Martin contrasts the American Revolution of 1776 with the French Revolution of 1789—the same vocabulary of freedom and rights, opposite outcomes. America grounded freedom in the Creator and built a republic that has lasted 250 years; France grounded it in man and collapsed into terror. It's the perfect listen for the commute, the gym, or the drive, unpacking why real freedom is never neutral and why political freedom alone can never free the human heart.You'll Learn:✅ The difference between rights that come from God and rights that come from the state✅ How the founders built government on the reality of human sin✅ Why only Christ delivers the inward freedom a free people need to stay free

Before Napoleon's legendary Marshals, France was already producing some of the greatest military leaders in European history. In this episode, we explore 4 remarkable Marshals of France whose achievements helped shape the French Army long before Austerlitz, Jena, and Waterloo.Special guest Jonathan Abel discusses the Comte de Rochambeau, whose leadership alongside George Washington helped secure victory at Yorktown during the American Revolution; the Duc de Broglie, one of France's most capable commanders during the Seven Years' War and an important military innovator, the Marquis de Castries, the naval reformer and statesman who strengthened French military power in the years before the French Revolution; and the Marquis de Ségur, the reform-minded Minister of War who helped modernize the French military.These forgotten marshals bridged the gap between the armies of Louis XIV and the armies of Napoleon, laying foundations that would influence French warfare for generations. From battlefields across Europe to the American War of Independence, their stories reveal how the French military evolved into the force that would later dominate the continent under Napoleon.X/Twitter: @andnapoleon#Napoleon #FrenchHistory #MarshalOfFrance #Rochambeau #AmericanRevolution #NapoleonicWars #MilitaryHistory #FrenchArmy #Yorktown #LouisXVI #SevenYearsWar #Broglie #Castries #HistoryPodcast #GeneralsAndNapoleon

The French Revolution didn't end in tyranny. It invented a new kind.History calls Napoleon a genius. That story isn't wrong — it's just incomplete. The real engine wasn't genius. It was architecture. Ballot boxes surrounded by bayonets. Referendums written before the votes were cast. Prefects in every province. Bonds that turned rich men into loyalty machines. Then Louis Napoleon ran the same playbook forty years later — a December coup, a midnight constitution, and Haussmann's boulevards designed for troop movement, not just beauty.The Bonapartes didn't seize power. They built a machine that asked the people to hand it over and engineered only one possible answer. This video walks the full autopsy — the five architectural pieces that held plebiscitary empire together, why Waterloo didn't kill the template, and what the modern version of the same machine looks like.═══════════════════════════════
