EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history - the Return of the Royal Family to Paris on 25 June 1791 after their dramatic arrest in Varennes. The image, an eau-forte coloriee from 1791, showcases the anonymous artistry of the French School during the 19th century. In this scene, we witness King Louis XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette accompanied by their family as they make their way back to Paris under heavy military guard. The engraving beautifully depicts the tension and uncertainty that surrounded this event during the French Revolution. The composition highlights not only the regal presence of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette but also includes elements such as caricatures, symbolizing both support and opposition towards monarchy. The National Guard stands prominently in formation, emphasizing their role in escorting and protecting the royal family. Leonard de Selva's expert photography brings out every intricate detail of this historical artwork housed at Musee Carnavalet in Paris. Through his lens, we are transported back to a time when France was undergoing radical political change. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of one of history's most significant turning points - a moment where power dynamics shifted forever. It allows us to reflect upon how revolutions shape nations while simultaneously appreciating the artistic brilliance captured by de Selva's lens.
