1790 Bastille Celebrates Champ Constitution Federation Fete Mars Revolution Swears Uphold Year

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print commemorates the Fête de la Fédération, a grand celebration held on the Champ de Mars in Paris on the first anniversary of the fall of the Bastille on July 14, 1790. The historic event marked a significant milestone in the French Revolution, as King Louis XVI publicly swore an oath to uphold the new Constitution, thereby symbolizing the unity of the French people and their commitment to the revolutionary cause. The image captures the jubilant atmosphere of the day, with an estimated crowd of 300,000 people gathered to witness the momentous occasion. The King and Queen, dressed in simple robes, are depicted seated on a raised platform, surrounded by representatives from the three estates and the National Guard. The crowd below, a sea of hats and tricolor cockades, is shown raising their arms in a show of unity and solidarity. The fall of the Bastille on July 14, 1789, had marked the beginning of the French Revolution, a period of radical social and political upheaval that would fundamentally transform the country. The Fête de la Fédération was a crucial moment in this process, as it demonstrated the strength and unity of the revolutionary forces and their determination to establish a new, democratic order. This print serves as a powerful reminder of the historical significance of the Fête de la Fédération and the pivotal role it played in shaping the course of French history. It is a testament to the enduring power of collective action and the indomitable spirit of the people, who came together to demand change and create a better future for themselves and their nation.
