EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print of "18 Brumaire An VIII" transports us back to a pivotal moment in history. Painted by Jacques Henri Sablet, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures 47x65 cm and is housed at the Musee des Beaux-Arts in Nantes, France. The scene depicted in the painting takes place on November 9th, 1799, during the tumultuous period of Napoleon Bonaparte's rise to power. The image showcases the grandeur of La Salle des Cinq-Cents at Saint-Cloud, where the Council of the Five Hundred convened. This council played a significant role in shaping revolutionary government policies during that time. Intriguingly lit by numerous lamps casting an ethereal glow, soldiers can be seen standing guard throughout the room. Their presence serves as a reminder of both protection and potential threat amidst political upheaval. This artwork captures a crucial moment known as "coup d'état" when Napoleon Bonaparte seized control from the faltering Directoire government. It symbolizes his ascent to becoming one of history's most influential figures. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print, we are transported back to an era defined by revolution and change. It serves as a testament to both artistic skill and historical significance—a visual representation that allows us to immerse ourselves in this pivotal chapter of human history.
