EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment during the French Revolution, showcasing the intense duel between two prominent figures: Charles Lameth and Marquis de Castries. Taking place on November 12,1790, this historic event unfolded at the Constituent Assembly where Lameth represented his constituents while Castries stood as a deputy of the nobility. In this dramatic scene frozen in time, we witness the fateful clash between these political adversaries. The Marquis de Castries successfully wounds Charles Lameth during their heated confrontation. As news of this incident spreads like wildfire among the passionate Jacobins crowd, they unleash their fury upon Lameth's hotel. The exquisite gouache painting by Lesueur Brothers from the 18th century brings to life every intricate detail of this significant moment in history. Preserved within Musee Carnavalet in Paris, France, it serves as a powerful reminder of the tumultuous times that shaped modern-day France. Through this evocative image captured by Photo Josse (not affiliated with any company), viewers are transported back to an era marked by revolution and social upheaval. It offers us a glimpse into one of many clashes that defined an entire nation's struggle for change and equality. As we contemplate this photograph print today, let us reflect on its historical significance and appreciate how it encapsulates both the violence and passion that characterized one of humanity's most transformative periods - The French Revolution.
