Musée Fragonard

Musée Fragonard (Paris, France)

Honoré Fragonard (1732 – 1799) was an expert in the art of anatomic preparations. His elaborately posed preparations were the forefathers of Gunther von Hagens’ “Body Worlds”. At the Musée Fragonard, you can see all of his surviving work including some creepy looking “Human Fetuses Dancing a Jig”. I am mesmerized.

About Comtesse DeSpair

The Comtesse DeSpair sits in sullen silence in The Castle DeSpair, obsessively reflecting upon the horrible void in which we exist. In her spare time (of which she has nothing but), she collects morbid trinkets and reads voraciously about the history of torture. She stores her trinkets in The Asylum Eclectica (http://asylumeclectica.com/). The Comtesse is hideously disfigured and thickly veiled at all hours. Once, an unfortunate servant caught a glimpse beneath the veil and was driven to madness. The Comtesse loves thunderstorms, darkness, and solitude.
