EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print captures the aftermath of the revolutionary army's capture of Lyon, a city that had defied the Paris government during the French Revolution. In October 1793, the city, which had been a stronghold of counter-revolutionary forces, was finally taken by the revolutionary army under the command of Jean-Baptiste Carrier and Jean-Jacques Esperandin. Following the capture, the revolutionary commissioner Collot d'Herbois ordered a massive destruction of property in the city as a punishment for the citizens' rebellion. The print depicts the destruction in progress, with soldiers seen tearing down buildings and setting them on fire. The smoke and debris fill the streets, creating a chaotic and destructive scene. The event is a significant moment in the history of the French Revolution, as it marked the end of the Lyon insurrection and the consolidation of revolutionary control over the region. The destruction of property was a brutal and devastating response to the rebellion, and it served as a warning to other cities and towns that resisted the revolutionary government. Collot d'Herbois, who is shown in the print overseeing the destruction, was a controversial figure during the Revolution. He was known for his ruthless methods and his role in the Reign of Terror. The print serves as a reminder of the violence and destruction that marked this period in French history. The print is a powerful visual representation of the events that unfolded in Lyon during the French Revolution, and it offers a glimpse into the chaos and destruction that accompanied the revolutionary army's campaign to suppress counter-revolutionary forces. It is a poignant reminder of the price that was paid for the revolutionary cause and the enduring impact of the French Revolution on French history.
