EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print captures a pivotal moment in history - the arrest of Louis XVI in Varennes on 22 June 1791. Painted by the talented Lesueur Brothers, this gouache painting from the 18th century is now housed in the Musee Carnavalet in Paris, France. In this arresting scene, we witness the French National Guard apprehending King Louis XVI and his family as they attempted to flee during the tumultuous period of the French Revolution. The tension and drama are palpable as armed guards surround them, their faces etched with fear and uncertainty. Marie Antoinette of Austria, Queen of France, stands beside her husband, displaying a mix of defiance and resignation. Her presence adds an air of tragedy to this historical event that would ultimately lead to their downfall. This artwork serves as a powerful reminder of one of history's most significant revolutions - a time when ordinary citizens rose up against monarchy and fought for liberty and equality. It encapsulates both the hope for change and the chaos that ensued during this turbulent era. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand a defining moment that shaped not only France but also reverberated throughout Europe.
