Fact check:

So, for some reason, I decided to also have a wordpress blog, thrillseekingbehavior.wordpress.com. Don't all rush over there at once, it's this blog all over again. I guess I like redundancy in my storage habits.

Anyway, an earlier blog post showed this picture:


"Virgin with Child and Angels," by Jean Fouquet
I gave a short story about the sad circumstances surrounding the painting, as well as the name of the artist credited with the painting, Jean Fochit. All the information I had was from a rather dubious source, but it was the best source I could find on the image I had stuck in my mind. It would have remained the best source, if a person had not seen my wordpress blog, and commented:

"Jackie says, 'What sucks is that this isn’t true! the artist’s name is Jean Fouquet. He was amazing, and not arrested.'"

And hell if Jackie isn't right.

Armed with the new, correct name, I found the artist easily on wikipedia. It seems none of the story was true. The model wasn't imprisoned, she was mistress to King Charles VII. And neither was Fouquet jailed. Very odd, the whole thing, but I'm glad it didn't happen.

SO- I would like to formally amend my earlier post, and bring it into compliance with reality.
