Non Comprehensive List of the Nice Spanish Paintings That Mysteriously Ended Up in Marshal Soult's Collection
Sourced from the essay Seville's Artistic Heritage during the French Occupation in the book Manet/Velázquez: The French Taste for Spanish Painting, which can be downloaded for free on the Met's website which is frankly awesome but i wish someone OCRed their book
In 1852 at the sale of his collection, there were 109 paintings up for sale - 78 from the Seville School, including 15 Murillos and 15 Zurbaráns.
It's interesting that Soult wanted to legitimize his ownership of these paintings via receipts and official documentation - the biography of him I was machine translating talks about the king questioning his collection and him pulling out receipts for each painting. But, well, the essay puts it like this: "The existence of an official letter can be explained by Soult's desire to dress up in legal or formal terms what was in reality theft or extortion."
I might put excerpts from the essay in a different post, but for now, let's look at the list! Modern locations of the paintings are in parentheses, and I must say, for an essay critical of historical reappropriation of artwork, a lot of these artworks are still extant. Not a dig or anything, just an observation.
I do not condone extorting or stealing priceless Spanish artworks anyway

SEXAGESIMA SUNDAY, St Scholastica Novena – The FOURTH DAY, Nostra Signora del Fuoco / Our Lady of the Fire, Forli, Italy (1428), St Andrew Corsini and the Saints for 4 February
SEXAGESIMA SUNDAY: (Latin – Sexagesima, sixtieth) is the eighth Sunday before Easter and the second before Lent. The Ordo Romanus, St Alcuin and others, count the Sexagesima from this day to Wednesday after Easter. The name was already known to the Fourth Council of Orléans in 541. To the Latins it is also known as “Exsurge” from the beginning of the Introit. The station was at Saint Paul’s…

Blanche and her image.
The image of Blanche in the hagiographies of her son is that of the mother of a saint. She is pious, severe, almost as austere as her son. Her wisdom, counsel, courage and political achievements are recognised, but not her vitality. But Blanche loved the things of this world too: music and song, rich colours in manuscripts, hunting, pomegranates, ginger and salmon, furs and silks and jewels. She loved and understood the workings of power. She loved the trappings of power, and knew how they should be used in the construction of a regal image. And she knew how important image was in the reality of power. Blanche has to be seen, not just as the mother of St Louis, but as the great-granddaughter of the empress Matilda, the granddaughter of Henry II and Eleanor of Aquitaine, the niece of Richard the Lionheart and the mother of Charles of Anjou. These were the rulers that she herself resembled. They, too, were profoundly pious, with a certain questioning intellectual seriousness. All were great founders and supporters of austerely reformist monasticism or religion. Inner conflict there must have been, but all were strong enough in personality to contain thar conflict. So Blanche ate her pomegranates, chose her jewelled gifts for friends and relations, listened to Melana and Passerele, laughed at the courtly romantic songs of Theobald of Champagne, discussed the new books from Toledo with the urbane Romanus, kept abreast of plots through her agents in La Rochelle and Carcassonne; but she prayed devoutly too, absorbing the meaning of the texts on the sacred pages of her psalters and bibles with her chaplains and religious advisers, planned her abbeys with meticulous care, built hospitals, released prisoners and scartered alms to the poor with lavish abandon. For she knew always that, at the End of Time, someone might point to her and say ‘Look — that was once the queen of France’.

Every day after finishing his shift at the fort, Hank asked around town for books to borrow for Connor to practise his reading skills on. On the fourth day he got lucky when Hervè, the curio shop owner, handed him a collection of folk tales and mysteries.
Now Hank Anderson was a known bookworm, unfortunately Connor hadn't inherited this trait. And so Hank was pleasently surprised when he found the young man instantly hooked on the new book:
That animation in this particular situation, lol! I can't even! So silly, yet so adorable!
The book is a disguised computer, b.t.w. Buying it set them back to broke again.
Connor: "You know what we're missing in Fort Detroit, father? Gargoyles!"
Hank: "You mean on the roofs? I suppose Hervè would like..."
Connor: "No, not for real. I mean... Ugh, now that I'm about to say it out loud I'm afraid it will sound childish."
Connor: "See, this is the story of St. Romanus and the convicted criminal, who went to slay a swamp dragon together."
Hank: "Authority figure and convict? Sounds familiar, haha!"
Connor: "He became a hero alongside the Saint, yet nobody knows his name anymore. In fact, in this tale they're both just "the bishop" and "the criminal". So I thought, if I copied the story to practise my writing hand, I'd like to fill in OUR names."
Hank: "That's actually how I used to read stories to you and Sixten when you were very little."
Connor: "Is it? Oh. A real childish idea, then."
Hank: "But also heartwarming."

La Gargouille was once and still is a famous lore; of a Dragonic beast with the wings of a bat and the ability to breathe fire. He was ‘captured’ and ‘beheaded’ by a Priest who used a ‘crucifix’ to immobilize him still. His head was mounted upon the buildings of new found churches to ward evil - however; that’s what the world what you to think. Gargouille and The Priest were sacred and almost forbidden lovers; for Gar’ was a King of a Fae species known as Gargoyles and the Priest was a man of God, a believer of One True Thing.
They came across each other upon the tale o Gargouille punishing a solider under his wing; bleeding and causing a mess near the fields of the Church; that was when Gar’ and the Priest; named Romanus - a boy in his eyes but a man in his heart. The punishment was swift and bloody but the boy never ran; instead; he was in awe - staring upon He; Gargouille like he was something akin to the very God he swore his life too.
They didn’t say a word to each other; but they continuously meet up in the same spot; during the night; when Romanus couldn’t sleep nor pray. He instead confided in Gargouille' s visage - touching feather wings; petting tail or holding onto a hand that was thrice the size of his own. Romanus grew with his faith; and aged fairly within time; speaking with Gargouille; but it wasn’t long before they advanced in conversations. Breaking a rule of the Church and many rules of their coven rules…
Laying with a monster; laying with another, virginity and now know longer pure — love was forbidden, relationships were forbidden but the heart got what it wants. This was the last time; Gargouille saw his beloved human; Romanus. The next time he saw his beloved was upon the streets; beaten and tossed out from his home - near death. Anger swarmed Gargouille, his body throbbed for vengeance - but his beloved voice and calm told him to cease his anger and forgive them in his heart. Thus; instead of a bloody battle between Fae and Humanity - Gar’ took his beloved across the boarder - nursing his human to heal; healing his wounds; kissing his tears and praying alongside him even if he did not believe in such a horrid faith.
By the time Romanus returned to the human world; years had passed. His name was removed from the book of those that lived within the Church and he instead got welcomed within a new rule of folk. Promoted to that of St. Romanus; and it was always rumoured that Gargouille was always at his side. For the buildings that St. Romanus travelled through and lived within - was left with the mark of the King of Gargoyles.
Monster heads; faces and sprouts clung to every wall, every building edge; under every window — watchful and waiting for sun down to cleanse the Churches of ill-will and unjust impurity. Gargouille watched his beloved grow old, grow weak — and upon his death bed; Gargouille shown himself to the Church of his beloved heart; and praised each follower of the St; for giving him the home he sought after since his birth.
And thus; he protected the people of the Church until they began to forget about him in stories of old; but he will never forget that of his beloved, Romanus.

Byzantine capital in the fifth century
Latin inscriptions on the walls are very uncommon, and this one must have been intended for the benefit of the numerous foreigners not conversant with Greek, who were attracted to the Byzantine capital in the fifth century. The outer gateway is supported on four marble pillars, one of which is ornamented with a carved cross and another with the letter B on its black stone capital. Another cross is carved on either side of the gateway, and on the tower at the right entrance are two inscriptions.
That portion of the walls lying between this and Top Kapu, the next gate, is in a far better state of preservation than any of the other portions ; the fourth inner tower beyond Yen! Kapu bears a Greek inscription.
Top Kapu (Cannon Gate) was formerly the St. Romanus Gate, so called after the church of St Romanus once in its vicinity. This gate is celebrated as being the one on which Muhammad II. directed the fire of his artillery, and especially that of a monster cannon cast for him by the Hungarian Orban, and conveyed from Adrianople by the united efforts of fifty pairs of oxen and two thousand men to the battery on the heights of Maltepeh, opposite the walls. This is also the spot where the last Byzantine emperor fell in the defence of the city. The walls between Top Kapu and Edirneh Kapu present a more dilapidated appearance than at any other point. The stream flowing along the valley, which here intersects the road leading into the heart of the city, is the lycus, from which, by means of aqueducts, the moat was formerly filled.
Adrianople Gate
Here travellers can, if they desire, enter Top Kapu Gate, and drive inside the city along the walls to the Adrianople Gate. Within the line of walls is Chingheneh Mahalleh, the Gipsy quarter, where the appearance of strangers is the signal for a general gathering of the female inhabitants, and a performance by them of a curious but disgusting series of posturings called ‘the belly dance in expectation of the bestowal of small coin.
Edirneh Kapu (Adrianople Gate), the next after Top Kapu, is the Byzantine Folyandron or Myriandron, and was also called the Middle Gate, from its giving access to the middle of the city. This is the gate through which Muhammad II. entered the conquered city, and through which each succeeding Sultan enters the city on his way to the palace after the ceremony of being girded with the sword of Osman at Ayub Mosque.
The Adrianople Gate and the walls in its immediate vicinity suffered more than any other part of these ancient fortifications in the earthquake of 1894; the gateway was cracked from top to bottom, and rjxfuced to such a ruinous condition that the gates had to be closed for a long time till it was restored; and they have only recently been opened again.
