Setting Fire to the Wall of the Fermiers Generaux - A Fiery Symbol of Revolution
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This coloured engraving captures a pivotal moment in history - the setting fire to the Wall of the Fermiers Generaux in Paris on 12 July, 1789. The image depicts a scene filled with chaos and intensity as a violent mob takes action against an oppressive system. The wall, once seen as an impenetrable barrier representing absolute monarchy and taxation, is now ablaze with flames that symbolize the outbreak of revolution. The crowd, composed of angry farmers and tax collectors turned attackers, stands defiantly before this architectural structure that had long oppressed them. Amidst the chaos, one cannot help but notice Claude Nicolas Ledoux's pavilions standing tall nearby. These symbolic structures further emphasize both the tolls imposed upon society by tax farming and the desire for change that fuels this rioting crowd. As we gaze at this print from centuries ago, we are transported back to a time when French society was on fire with fervor for freedom and equality. It serves as a reminder of how ordinary people can come together to challenge oppressive systems and ignite monumental change. This artwork not only captures a significant event during the French Revolution but also showcases France's rich cultural heritage. Preserved within Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, it stands as a testament to our collective history and reminds us never to forget those who fought bravely for liberty amidst blazing adversity.
