EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history - the Tennis Court Oath during the French Revolution. In this powerful image, we see Jean-Sylvain Bailly, a prominent politician of the 18th century, addressing a group of individuals who were locked out of a meeting of the Estates-General on June 20,1789. The oath was signed by an overwhelming majority of members from the Third Estate, totaling 576 out of 577 representatives. Faced with exclusion and frustration at their lack of representation, these brave individuals gathered on a tennis court to make a solemn pledge to fight for their rights and demand political change. The engraving by Pontenier beautifully depicts this historic event based on Yan Dargent's drawing. It showcases Bailly passionately speaking to his fellow revolutionaries as they stand united in their determination for equality and justice. This image symbolizes not only the strength and resilience of those involved but also represents one of the defining moments that sparked widespread unrest throughout France. The Tennis Court Oath became an iconic symbol for revolutionary ideals and set in motion events that would ultimately reshape French society. Through this print from Fine Art Finder, we are reminded of the power that lies within unity and collective action - values that continue to resonate today.
