    One of the romantic legends of Art History concerns a woman who is thought to have been the model for several paintings -- including one of his most famous -- by a love-struck artist whose name can be translated as small versions of a certain type of container. It is said by some that this woman was also the mistress of a doomed member of a famous family and that he once participated in a contest in her name, carrying a banner painted by the artist. Who was she, who was the artist, and can you find me one or two of the putative portraits?

    A number of French artists are associated with the Revolution, but this one, despite having blazed a trail in the Royal Academy, had to flee the country owing to problematic patronage connections. Those same connections allowed the artist in question to enjoy a very successful career abroad and, eventually, to receive an invitation to return to France from Napoleon. Who was this artist, and who was the artist's most famous patron?
