Commentary
Jean-Paul Marat (1743-1793) est un médecin, physicien, journaliste et homme politique français. Usurpateur de noblesse avant la chute du régime monarchique, il devient député montagnard à la Convention à l’époque de la Révolution. Son assassinat par Charlotte Corday permet aux hébertistes de faire de lui un martyr de la Révolution et d'installer pendant quelques mois ses restes au Panthéon (cf. wikipedia).
