That was Jean-Paul Marat. He was the radical author of the anti-Girondin newspaper, L'Ami du Peuple (';The Friend of the People';). He was murdered by Charlotte Corday. Need anything else?Who was the guy during the french revolution who always had to be in the bath tub?
Jean-Paul Marat.


He had a painful skin disorder,and thus spent a lot of time in the bath to ease the pain.





He's usually depicted in his bath because of the famous painting 'The Death of Marat', Marat being in his bath when he was assassinated.Who was the guy during the french revolution who always had to be in the bath tub?
The painting (at link) is about Jean-Paul Marat's assasination.
