Remorse
Remorse c1875 by French Painter Louis-Marie Baader (1828 – 1920); historyczny, malarz gatunkowy i wojskowy.
In this powerful image we see a women lying down on a white silk cloth that is covering the ground with a smudge of blood on her rib cage.
She has her right arm placed across a man that has blood on his chest, and that has his face as well as much of his body covered by a deep red cloak; whom we can assume is her dead lover.
Then to her left is another man that is looking down upon them both, and that she has her left hand resting on is left knee has she looks at him in disbelief; while he partially covers his face with his left arm in shame at what he has done.
To this man she is bound to by chain and shackle at her left ankle that connects to his left ankle as well, leading the viewer to assume that this man is her husband’ that caught her in the act of adultery.
Above them we see four angles of heaven which appear that neither the man or the woman are aware of; as they lament at the heinous act that her husband has committed before heaven and GOD, as they point to the body of the dead man and the clouds above them show there fiery rage of bright reddish-orange, żółty, white and dark grey color.

Louis was the son of a German musician and a Norman wife. His father served in comte in the regiment of Jacques Boudin de Tromelin (1771 – 1842), a French general of the First French Empire.
Early on the count realized that Louis-Marie had artistic potential and with his help Louis was able to enter the École des beaux-arts (jest. 1817) in Paris in 1848, in the studio of French painter Adolphe Yvon (1817 – 1893); known for his paintings of the Napoleonic Wars (1803 – 1815).
Louis exhibited his work at the Paris Salon from 1857 do 1914; and during that time in 1866 won a medal for his piece Hero and Leander and he also garnered a third class medal for Posthumous Glory in 1874, co zakończyło się sprzedażą kilku sztuk państwu francuskiemu.
Przez większą część swojej kariery artystycznej Louis koncentrował się na tworzeniu obrazów historycznych, później przeszedł do tworzenia dzieł sztuki, a pod koniec swojej kariery tworzył dzieła sztuki dotyczące historii wojskowości.
