Jean-Paul Marat (1743 – 1793) was a physician, political theorist, and scientist, as well as a radical journalist and politician during the French Revolution.
Biography
During the revolution, Marat published the newspaper L'Ami du peuple ("Friend of the People"), which brought him much notoriety as an influential supporter of the sans-culottes and the radical Jacobins. He advocated for the purge of the moderate Girondists, which led to concerns that Marat's radical views would start a civil war in France.[1]
At some point in the 1790s, Marat signed a letter which authorized a violent gang to rob the graves on Île de la Cité. However, the French Assassin Arno Dorian stole the letter, ending the gang's criminal activities.[2]
On 13 July 1793, Marat was assassinated inside his own home by Charlotte Corday, a Girondist symphatizer, while he took a medicinal bath. Corday was granted an audience with Marat after pretending to bring a list of Girondists conspiring against him, and stabbed him to death with a knife she had purchased from a local merchant.[3]
Arno Dorian later investigated the circumstances of Marat's murder, ultimately identifying Corday as the culprit. After Marat's death, the painter Jacques-Louis David made a posthumous portrait of him,[3] immortalizing Marat as a Jacobin martyr.[4]
Legacy
In 2012, the Assassin Clay Kaczmarek included Marat in one of the glyphs hidden inside the Animus for his successor, Desmond Miles, to find.[5]
