EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating coloured engraving, titled "Vive le Roi! Vive la Nation!, 1789" transports us back to a pivotal moment in French history. The artwork, created by the anonymous French School artist in the 18th century, is housed at the Musee de la Ville de Paris, Musee Carnavalet in Paris, France. The scene depicted showcases the powerful presence of women from Les Halles as they march with determination and passion. Clutching orange branches and waving them triumphantly in the air, these market women cry out with fervor: "Long Live the king! Long live the nation!". Their voices echo through time as a symbol of their unwavering commitment to both monarchy and revolution. This historical event took place on October 5th, 1789 when these courageous women descended upon Versailles to compel the royal family's return to Paris. The engraving captures their boisterous spirit and political fervency beautifully. With its humorous undertones and comic-like style, this artwork offers a unique perspective on an important moment during one of Europe's most significant revolutions. It serves as a reminder of how ordinary individuals can shape history through their actions. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece for all to admire.
