Find out the real story of Chevalier de Saint-Georges, born Joseph Bologne, he was widely considered to be one of the most accomplished men in Europe during his lifetime, with a laundry list of talents, ranging from genius violinist to Europeā€™s greatest swordsman. He is known as the ā€œBlack Mozartā€ - but to be honest, if you learn enough about him, you may even consider Mozart to be the ā€œWhite Joseph Bologne.ā€ Joseph was literally around for every major cultural event in France in the 1700s - he was in the center of the revolution and the fall of the monarchy, he may have been the inspiration for the book The Three Musketeers, he was friends with the Prince of Wales, tutored Marie Antoinette in piano, and may have aided in writing some of Mozartā€™s music. Letā€™s learn about his life and history and then we will take a look at some recreations of his face.

As a Black man that has been playing the violin since the age of six I am up lifted filled with dignity & pride and so proud that God gave me the gift of having the opportunity to play the violin even when everyone around me bashed me for it. It fills my spirit with joy to see stories like this in a world where a man like me is profiled and looked at as not good enough, envied, and hated for being who I am in my own skin. The more I grow the more I understand who I am and who I come from. True creators , inventors, healers, masters of any craft we get our hands on. Know who you are and become the best version of self. Believe in your self . You can do anything you put your mind too even when all odds are stack against you because you are the true aboriginal. Amen

I am a big black rugged guy with broad shoulders, but this story of such a man, Joseph Bologne, brought tears to my eyes. What a struggle and triumph in life that we will never know the true nature of. This was a magnificent piece of Black History history that many of us were denied in our schools and goes to show you how weak some were/are... though not all. Let us learn more of this 'lost' history and learn to understand each other... Truthfully. This was a truly well presented piece. Thank you.

First off, let me thank the content creators at Royalty Now for sharing this amazing piece of history. I find it extremely hurtful as a black man in today's society for not learning about this information while I was in college. While in college, my major was classical music, and I never was taught this. Sad.

Thank you! I never heard of Joseph Bologne in my 60+ years. A lot of our history has been kept from us. Black history is not just black history, but it is our history.

I am shocked that Iā€™ve never heard of this exceptionally talented man, it was only because a trailer of the new movie just popped up. Itā€™s a shame he was not celebrated more, but Iā€™m very glad that Hollywood has now come on board, so that more people will learn of this great man.

Letā€™s give credit to J. A. Rogers, the self taught Jamaican-American historian who presented the biographic information about the Chevalier to the English speaking world in the 1950ā€™s. There is a beautiful biopic about him here on YouTube. France officially recognised him in the typically condescending manner by calling him the ā€œBlack Mozartā€ while in reality he inspired& sponsored Mozart as nicely stated in this video - thx a lot

This one was particularly emotional for me. Seeing a person of color , having his story told and backed by historical record is very moving. And that we both happen to be musicianā€™s of color is also not lost to me either.

As a musician and martial artist of color, this made my heart sing with pride. It just goes to show, that with fortitude, honor and dignity you can reach any height, despite those who would stand against you. Thank you Chevalier. ā¤šŸ™šŸ¾

Iā€™m French-American, a composer and music producer living in the US, and fiercely progressive politically and socially. This video was so moving and beautiful, I found myself in tears multiple times. Thank you for this gorgeous bit of important history. And yes, the Reign of Terror was horrible, and we still speak about it with a shudder.

I hope the movie does this man justice. He literally lived 10 lives in one.

Your renderings of Joseph Bologne are simply breathtaking, especially the one of him fully smiling (with beautiful teeth). I loved the entire storytelling and am so glad to have stumbled upon this important person in history. Of course, we never get this type of history in American education, public or private schools. Thank you so much.

This man was a lighthouse. His strength was overwhelming and says a lot about the ability of man to surpass his limits.

So sad that somebody with such an amazing story has been lost in history, he deserves for his story to live on. How can somebody like him be forgotten? Thank you for keeping his story alive and educating us.
