The Arrest of Councillor Broussel, 26th August, 1648 (19th/early 20th century). Pierre Broussel (c1575-1654) was a councillor in the Parlement of Paris. Broussel was an opponent of the tax plans of Cardinal Mazarin, the Chief Minister of France, who had him arrested. Broussels popularity with the people of Paris meant that the arrest sparked a revolt, Mazarin was forced to free Broussel and France was plunged into the first of the two civil wars known as La Fronde.

The Arrest of Councillor Broussel, 26th August, 1648
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating painting by Jean-Paul Laurens that depicts a pivotal moment in French history. The artist skillfully captures the intense emotions and political turmoil surrounding the arrest of Pierre Broussel, a prominent councillor in the Parlement of Paris. In this powerful image, we see Broussel being apprehended by soldiers as he descends a grand staircase inside the Hotel de Ville in Paris. His face reflects anger and defiance while his fellow councillors and supporters look on with concern. The vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail bring this historical event to life. Broussel's arrest was not just an isolated incident but rather ignited widespread unrest among the people of Paris who admired him for opposing Cardinal Mazarin's tax plans. This act of repression sparked protests and ultimately led to France being plunged into La Fronde, its first civil war. Laurens' painting serves as both an illustration and a historical document capturing the spirit of resistance against oppression during this tumultuous period. It reminds us of the power that individuals can have in shaping political events and highlights the importance of standing up for one's beliefs. This print is not only a stunning work of art but also provides valuable insight into French history, politics, and social dynamics during the 17th century.
