EDITORS COMMENTS
July 14, 1880: The Inauguration of the Monument to the Republic by Alfred Philippe Roll Alfred Philippe Roll's painting, "July 14, 1880: The Inauguration of the Monument to the Republic," captures a pivotal moment in French history. The scene unfolds on Bastille Day, a national holiday celebrating the storming of the Bastille fortress in 1789, which marked the beginning of the French Revolution. In this painting, Roll immortalizes the inauguration of the Monument to the Republic, which took place on July 14, 1880, in Paris. The canvas, rich in oil paint, is filled with vibrant colors and a sense of energy. The monument itself, a symbol of the French Republic, stands proudly in the center, surrounded by a sea of people. Men and women, young and old, gather to witness the historic occasion. Children, dressed in their Sunday best, cling to their parents' hands, their eyes wide with wonder and excitement. The crowd is a diverse representation of the French population, with men in top hats and women in long skirts and bonnets. Some hold flags, waving them proudly in the air, while others cheer and cheer louder. In the foreground, a man in a suit, possibly a dignitary, stands with his hand on the monument, gazing up at it with a sense of reverence. The painting is a testament to the patriotism and pride that defined the French people during this period. It is a snapshot of a moment in time, frozen in oil paint, that continues to resonate with viewers today. Roll's masterful use of realism and attention to detail bring the scene to life, making it a valuable addition to the collection of any museum or art lover. The painting, now a cherished piece of heritage art, is a reminder of the rich history and cultural significance of Paris and France. It is a must-see for anyone interested in the artistic movement of the 19th century and the history of France.
