EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the first scene of the French Revolution in Paris on 12/07/1789, a pivotal moment in history. After King Louis XVI dismissed Jacques Necker, Camille Desmoulins took to the Palais Royal and passionately addressed the crowd, urging them to revolt against the government. In this image, we see revolt citizens carrying busts of both Necker and Louis Philippe II Joseph d Orleans (also known as Philippe Egalite), Duke of Orleans. The Lesueur brothers skillfully depicted this historic event with their gouache painting. The vibrant colors bring life to the scene, while capturing the intensity and determination of those involved in igniting change. The busts held high by these citizens symbolize their defiance towards an oppressive regime. Displayed at Musee Carnavalet in Paris, this artwork serves as a powerful reminder of how ordinary people can rise up against injustice and fight for their rights. It encapsulates a turning point that would shape not only France but also influence revolutions worldwide. Through this print from Fine Art Finder's collection by Photo Josse, viewers are transported back to that fateful day when voices were raised and actions set into motion. It is a testament to human resilience and our unwavering pursuit of freedom and equality throughout history.
