Paris Commune Revolutionary, Police Chief, Anti-Religionist, and Savior of the French Father of Impressionist Paintings
: A journalist and French Socialist revolutionary, best known for his role during the Paris Commune of 1871. He is most notable for his execution of Archbishop Darboy, as well as for having saved the life of the French father of Impressionist painting, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, from a firing squad; for having led a ruthless, French Revolution-style ("Jacobin") police operation during the Paris Commune; and for his unrelenting hatred of religion. (From: Wikipedia.org.)
