EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the arrest of Louis XVI (1754-93) and his family on 13th August 1792. Engraved by Reinier Vinkeles (1741-1816) and Daniel Vrydag (1765-1822) in 1801, this coloured engraving by Joseph Swebach-Desfontaines (1769-1823) provides a glimpse into the tumultuous times of the French Revolution. The scene depicts a royal coach carrying Louis XVI, his wife Marie Antoinette, and their children as they are taken to the Temple prison. Surrounded by soldiers and revolutionaries, their expressions reveal both fear and resignation. The Parisian street is filled with tension as onlookers observe this historic event unfold. The image serves as a powerful reminder of the radical changes that swept through France during this period. The French Revolution brought an end to centuries of monarchy, leading to profound political and social transformations. This particular moment symbolizes the downfall of an entire regime, marking a turning point in European history. Preserved at Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, this engraved artwork offers us insight into one of the most pivotal moments in French history. Its historical significance combined with its artistic beauty makes it a valuable piece within Fine Art Finder's collection from Bridgeman Images.
