EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment from the French Revolution in 1789. Depicted is Baron Pierre Victor de Bezenval, the colonel of the Swiss Guard, being taken prisoner at the Chteau de Brie-Comte-Robert in October of that year. The image is an early 19th-century Dutch engraving based on a work by Jean Duplessis-Bertaux, a renowned artist from that era. In this scene, we witness the intensity and chaos of the revolution as Bezenval finds himself surrounded by a mob of revolutionary men. The atmosphere is tense and filled with rebellion as these individuals fight for their cause against oppressive forces. The Chteau de Brie-Comte-Robert serves as a backdrop to this historic event. Its grandeur contrasts sharply with the turmoil unfolding within its walls. This castle was once seen as a symbol of power and authority but now stands witness to its own downfall. Baron Pierre Victor de Bezenval's capture marks another blow to those who sought to maintain control during this tumultuous period in French history. His imprisonment signifies not only his personal fate but also represents the weakening grip of those who opposed change. Through this powerful engraving, we are transported back in time to experience firsthand one pivotal moment during the French Revolution – a time when ordinary people rose up against oppression and fought for their freedom.
