But she didn\u2019t just translate, she pointed out errors in the chemistry in some of the texts. Her observations of these errors convinced Lavoisier to study combustion, which led to his discovery of oxygen. She was also critical to the publication of Lavoisier\u2019s Elementary Treatise on Chemistry in 1789. She kept strict records of every experiment they conducted together and drew detailed diagrams of all their equipment. She also threw amazing parties and invited all the brightest minds in science so her husband could pick their brains. After Lavoisier was guillotined she secured all of his notebooks and equipment for posterity.<\/p>\n<p>In short: NOBODY KICKS MADAME LAVOISIER OUT OF THE LAB.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Also, a side note: My historian husband-to-be pointed some things out to me about this painting. Notice that Madame Lavoisier is looking at the viewer, and all the light is on her, while Lavoisier himself is physically smaller than her, in shadow, and looking up to her in reverence. This isn\u2019t a candid photograph- all of these choices are deliberate. The painting isn\u2019t of Lavoisier- Madame Lavoisier is meant to be the central subject.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I can just imagine Lavoisier telling all his colleagues that his wife is really the one with all the clever ideas, and them patting him on the back and telling him he\u2019s sweet for saying so.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>more like<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"image\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/l.wigflip.com\/TW9z3KDO\/roflbot.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Rebloggin\u2019 for the fantastic commentary and the edit \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>You may also note that the angle of\u00a0Lavoisier\u2019s leg and the crease in the tablecloth form a triangle which further bring the viewer\u2019s attention to the central subject of\u00a0Marie-Anne Pierrette Paulze. Triangles are very important directional cues in paintings, and I see at least two more in this painting which also accomplish this.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>dubihyena: eccecorinna: hemipelagicdredger: mermaidskey: mermaidskey: oxidoreductase: Lavoisier is having none of your shit.
