Commentary
Jean-Paul Marat, né le 24 mai 1743 à Boudry (Principauté de Neuchâtel) et mort le 13 juillet 1793 à Paris, est un médecin, physicien, journaliste et homme politique français d’origine prussienne. Usurpateur de noblesse avant la chute du régime monarchique, il devient député montagnard à la Convention à l’époque de la Révolution. Il joue un rôle de premier plan dans les premières années de la Révolution, grâce à son journal, L'Ami du peuple. Fréquemment accusé d'inciter à la violence, il est l'un des principaux instigateurs des Massacres de Septembre.
Son assassinat par Charlotte Corday permet aux hébertistes et aux robespierristes de faire de lui un martyr de la Révolution, d'installer pendant quelques mois ses restes au Panthéon et de justifier la Terreur.(c.f.Wikipédia).
