This text presents an analysis of two neglected paintings devoted to the French Revolution. John Zoffany's "Plundering the King's Cellar at Paris, August 10 1972", and "Celebrating over the Bodies of the Swiss Soldiers", both represent events that helped turn the English against the Revolution.

Taking as case studies two paintings of circa 1621-22 attributed to Artemisia, this text examines the ways that identity, gender and market pressures interact both in the artist's work and in the criticism and conoisseurship that have surrounded it.
