Title
Français : Jugement Dernier — La Barque de Charon
Description
English:

This drawing is a parody of Michelangelo's Barge of Charon painting in the Sistine Chapel. In Greek mythology, Charon transported the souls of the dead across the Acheron River ("river of woe") to the underworld. He would only carry those who had been buried with the proper burial rites, and who had a coin to pay for their passage. Thus, it was the custom in ancient Greece to bury people with a coin in their mouth.

Here, the artist has replaced the figures in Michelangelo's painting with key figures in Napoleon's government. Notice the phrygien red bonnets, and Cambacérès with the serpent coiled around him. The important characters are numbered per the following legend:

  1. Pierre-Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais

Public domain
This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.
Public domain works must be out of copyright in both the United States and in the source country of the work in order to be hosted on the Commons. If the work is not a U.S. work, the file must have an additional copyright tag indicating the copyright status in the source country.

Public domain
This work is in the public domain in France for one of the following reasons:
  • Its author (or the last of its authors in the case of a collaboration work) died more than 70 years ago (CPI art. L123-1) and did not benefit from any copyright extension (CPI art. L123-8, L123-9 and L123-10)[1];
  • It is an anonymous or pseudonymous work (the identity of the author has never been disclosed) or a collective work[2] and more than 70 years have passed since its publication (CPI art. L123-3);
  • It is the recording of an audiovisual or musical work already in the public domain, and more than 50 years have passed since the performance or the recording (CPI art. L211-4).
Please note that moral rights still apply when the work is in the public domain. They encompass, among others, the right to the respect of the author's name, quality and work (CPI art. L121-1). Attribution therefore remains mandatory.
  1. ↑ Copyright extensions must be considered only in the case of musical works and of authors Mort pour la France (died during conflict, in the service of France). In other cases, they are included in the 70 years post mortem auctoris length (see this statement of the Cour de Cassation).
  2. ↑ The collective work status is quite restrictive, please make sure that it is actually established.
