1750 1796 Revolutionary Collot
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print captures the intense gaze and resolute determination of Jean-Marie Collot d'Herbois, a pivotal figure in the French Revolution. Born in 1750, Collot d'Herbois was a lawyer and journalist who became a prominent figure in the revolutionary movement in Lyon, France. He was a member of the Jacobin Club, a radical political organization that advocated for the most radical and far-reaching changes to French society. Collot d'Herbois rose to prominence during the Reign of Terror, a period of extreme violence and political upheaval in France from 1793 to 1794. He served as a judge in the Revolutionary Tribunal, a court established to try and execute those deemed enemies of the revolution. Collot d'Herbois was known for his unwavering commitment to the revolutionary cause and his willingness to mete out harsh justice against those who opposed it. This print, created in 1796, depicts Collot d'Herbois in the prime of his revolutionary career. He is shown wearing the traditional robes of a French magistrate, with a stern expression and piercing eyes that seem to bore into the soul of the viewer. The print's caption identifies him as "President of the Revolutionary Tribunal," a testament to his powerful position in the revolutionary government. Collot d'Herbois' legacy is a complex one. While he played a crucial role in the French Revolution and helped bring about the end of the monarchy, his role in the Reign of Terror and his role in the execution of thousands of people raises questions about the morality of the revolution and the price of political change. Regardless of one's perspective on Collot d'Herbois and his actions, this print is a powerful reminder of the intensity and passion that defined the French Revolution and continues to shape our understanding of this pivotal moment in world history.
