The Bathtub Murder That Shocked France 🩸#history #art

During the French Revolution, Jean-Paul Marat wrote the death lists that sent thousands to the guillotine. A painful skin disease forced him to work from a medicinal bath. On July 13, 1793, a 24-year-old woman named Charlotte Corday knocked on his door with a fake list of traitors. As he wrote the names, she pulled a kitchen knife from her dress and struck. She never ran. She stood calmly by the tub, famously saying: "I killed one man to save one hundred thousand." 🎨 Painting: The Death of Marat by Jacques-Louis David (1793) #HistoryShorts #TheDeathOfMarat #ArtHistory #FrenchRevolution #Shorts #Storytime #DarkHistory
