There may have been some travelling rich mulatoes from the Antilles, but their number would range in the dozen at most.
As for Africans, even France's first black colony (Senegal) wasn't solidified yet.
Even when it would be (in the early 20th century), blacks wouldn't be allowed to migrate to Europe, but you could occasionally see some in Paris during "human zoos" expositions or when colonial troops were occasionally brought to Paris to parade alongside the rest of the army during military celebrations.
>His skin is much darker than the other characters on the painting
No it's not
His skin is the same tone as the dude below him you included in your crop, and lighter than the guys in the background compared to him. He's only darker than the guys in the foreground compared to him.
And if you bother looking up at 19th century painting, you'll notice white people are often depicted with a somewhat dark skin, especially in warfare scenes.
Like, most Napoleonic soldiers in Napoleonic paintings have a skin much darker than this dude.
What's this, Ubisoft's newest revisionist game?
I think the cringiest part is how that black woman wears the typical house slave attire from the American South.
Leftards have very hard time understanding the fact that no black slaves were used in Europe.
Yes Europeans took part in the slave trade and indulged in slavery, but not on their own continent, only in the Americas.
Hence why Europe had virtually no black people until the mass migrations that followed decolonization in the 1960s.
>Leftards have very hard time understanding the fact that no black slaves were used in Europe.
Incorrect. They were used as domestic slaves, in a very limited capacity, as status symbols.
There were a very small amount of black slaves in Europe but they were there. At least one even ended up in Russia and Pushkin was his great-grandson.
The image in OP presents a completely unrealistic idea but there were probably a few hundred black/mulatto people in Paris in 1871, out of 1.8 million total people.
there weren't enough to matter, or even to result in any demographic change at all outside of the households they resided in, especially following abolition. No one's breeding with the 2000 slaves brought in from Africa to be used in a manor in the countryside

>posting Thomas Alexandre Dumas
Come the frick on...
Dude could be a bingo entry for that kind of thread....
The very reason he's famous is because he literally was one of the only two "blacks" (aka 50% black) in Revolutionary France.
Like literally. There was him, another mulatto son of a white nobleman called Chevalier de Saint-Georges and that's it.
The literal only two colored dudes in France.
Dumas even recorded how much curiosity he created among the locals everywhere he went due to them having never seen a colored person before.
Posting him as a "proof" is like posting that one "black samurai" who was the only black dude in Japan in his era in order to prove that blacks were a normal sight in 16th century Japan.
There is a painting of the drownings at Nantes where there is a black man in the boat, alongside with a man wearing what looks like a turban
But this is from 1882 so way after the fact, might be artistic license to make the revolutionaries more ''foreign''
Or maybe, you know, it's just to empahsis on poors (dirty, tanned...etc) vs the richs.
If you look at your painting, all the men have the same "black" skin except for the three officers and the two women.
So unless you think France was 90% black at the time, it's safe to assume it isn't meant to depict race.
Hilarous how artist in the 19th century used skin tons to differentiate classes and professions knowing well it couldn't be confused for race in their racially homogenous society, only to have autists in the 21st century assume any dark character to be some African...
No, there really are black Caribbean troops during the Vendée War who were forced to do the dirty work. Even Alexandre Dumas's father was forced to fight there.
There were no "black Caribbean troops", you dumbfrick
Not even in Haiti and especially not in Europe
Thomas Alexandre Dumas was an exception. He was the son of a French nobleman who brought him to France and then proceeded to get him in the army through nepotism.
But there were no commoner black troops used by the French like colonial troops would be in the 20th century. Not in the 1790s.
He isn't the one who felt compelled to insert two black people (out of 15 people on the scene, aka 13% of people present) in a picture depicting an event that occurred at a time when black people made up for about 0.1% of said country's population (most of which were gathered in the port city of Nantes and not in Paris).
Paradox Interactive (and the Silicon Valley in general) are the ones obsessed with blacks.
>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anton_Wilhelm_Amo >Anton Wilhelm Amo or Anthony William Amo (c. 1703 – c. 1759) was an African philosopher originally from what is now Ghana. Amo was a professor at the universities of Halle and Jena in Germany after studying there. Brought to Germany by the Dutch West India Company in 1707 as a child-slave, and given as a gift to Dukes August Wilhelm and Ludwig Rudolf von Wolfenbüttel,[2] he was treated as a member of the family by their father Anthony Ulrich, Duke of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel. Amo was the first African-born person known to have attended a European university.
Use prophet google (pbuh) to find that out.

Isn't the man holding a saber in Delacroix' painting a mulatto?
Is this bait? This dude hasn't got the slightiest Black feature
His skin is much darker than the other characters on the painting. Always thought it was a mulatto.

No need to rant.
It was just a perception I had while looking at the picture for the first time. I'm not preaching anything.
gaslighting, he just looks like an ordinary scraggly french peasant who spends most of the day out in the sun

There were no black slaves in Europe, you mong
Even leftist wikipedia says so
pray tell name me one
all I know about slavery in Europe is that England's air makes any man free
as of 1827 anyway
How is taking a walk supposed to prove anything?
Because you'd see of blacks living here
>name nameless persons
Nonetheless, Severiano de Heredia
learn to use wikipedia
records of*
And even better bourgeois portraits proudly displaying their black slaves as early as the 17th century

Post one
First one i found
>A 10 minutes walk to my local museum proves you wrong
Are you another moron who think that some tanned person on a 19th century painting = an african?
Are you a moron that thinks that OFFICIAL RECORDS and explicit descriptions calling them african mean they were actually just tanned people?
are you so much of a mouthbreather that you're addicted to talking about history instead of reading it?

Vendée was basically a white genocide by black people and African-American should pay reparations

I expect they will put some token whites in art depicting asia and africa too
they shouldn't, it's just cringe
As many as the artist in questions needs there to be to serve his or her propagandic purpose.
A black became mayor of Paris a few years after it
So it was existing
someone give this man a google search coupon
>proceeds to dump paintings of rich Europeans in the Caribbean
Lol i expected that cope
All from the same city in Europe

He was famous for being black
