EDITORS COMMENTS
In this colored engraving by Janinet, we witness a historic moment between Monsieur de Liancourt and Louis XVI at the grand palace of Versailles. The image depicts an intense conversation taking place on the 14th of July in 1789, when Paris was ablaze with revolutionary fervor. Monsieur de Liancourt, also known as Duc de la Rochefoucauld-Liancourt, stands before the French king with an air of urgency and determination. As a prominent figure in the aristocracy, he holds immense influence over Louis XVI's decisions. In this pivotal encounter, he courageously imparts to the monarch that what is happening in Paris is not merely a revolt but rather a full-blown revolution. The composition exudes tension and drama as both men engage in this crucial exchange. The finely detailed engravings bring their expressions to life - Liancourt's eyes filled with conviction while Louis XVI appears contemplative yet apprehensive about these unprecedented events unfolding outside his opulent palace walls. This artwork captures a significant turning point in history - the siege and capture of Bastille - which marked the beginning of France's tumultuous journey towards democracy. It symbolizes how even within privileged circles, voices emerged to challenge traditional power structures and advocate for change. Janinet masterfully conveys both historical accuracy and artistic flair through his skillful use of color and intricate detailing. This print serves as a visual testament to one man's bravery in speaking truth to power during
