Marat
Stabbed while soaking
Jean-Paul Marat was a radical journalist and politician during the French Revolution, known for his inflammatory newspaper *L'Ami du peuple* and his calls for violent action against enemies of the revolution.
He was assassinated in his bathtub by Charlotte Corday in 1793—a scene immortalized in Jacques-Louis David's painting.
His name evokes revolutionary fervor and martyrdom.
