Painter France • He was born on August 29, 1780 in Montauban, Tarn-et-Garonne, France - January 14, 1867 in Paris. He was a French Neoclassical painter. In 1796, he went to Paris to study with Jacques-Louis David, under whose tutelage he remained for four years, finally winning the Grand Prix in 1801 for Ambassadors of Agamemnon in the tent of Achilles. He aspired to Neoclassical perfection, but the pictorial traits which puzzled his contemporaries are now appreciated as evidence of a repressed sensuality, finding expression in Gothic arabesques of line and limpid skin tones, beneath immaculately painted surfaces.

Politician Norway • He was born on July 18, 1887 – October 24, 1945. He was a Norwegian Nazi politician and officer. He held the office of Minister President in occupied Norway from February 1942 to the end of World War II, while the elected social democratic cabinet of Johan Nygaardsvold was exiled in London. When Germany invaded Norway on April 9, 1940, he became the first person in history to announce a coup d'etat during a news broadcast, declaring an ad-hoc government during the confusion of the invasion, hoping that Hitler would support it. The background for this action was the flight northwards of the King and the government, and he feared that all political power could end up in German hands, to the disadvantage of the Norwegian population. After the war he was tried for high treason and subsequently executed by firing squad. His name has become an eponym for traitor, especially a collaborationist. Question
