Scherman, Tony The Secret Life of Robespierre: Saint-Just On April 6, 2001, I was able to attend the reception for a gallery showing the artwork of Tony Scherman, creator of Chasing Napoleon. Quite fortunately for me, Mr. Scherman himself was there, and I had the opportunity to briefly talk to him. He said that this picture was a representation of the theories that Saint-Just and Robespierre had an "affair," as Mr. Scherman put it. He indicated that Saint-Just was depicted as a child because of the young age at which he first wrote Robespierre admiring letters, which Mr. Scherman described as "florid." "He was a very beautiful child," Mr. Scherman said, going on to describe the adult Saint-Just as tall, thin, fair, and "the perfect Aryan." Mr. Scherman said that the painting itself was inspired by a picture of a young Scottish boy. The painting is included in Scherman's book Chasing Napoleon; see the nonfiction bibliography for more details.
