Georges Focus, who died in 1708, was a French painter who became crazy at the end of his life. He is the author of a bit more than 130 drawings, accompanied by poems, of great technical quality, made while suffering from psychological disorders. These bizarre works are also marked by great erudition and many precise allusions to contemporary personalities and events. They are a source of micro-history for research on  17th century French society, literature and fine arts.Public domain, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=74088544With this researcher blog, I would like to present the research that hopefully will lead to the annotated electronic edition of Focus' drawings.
