EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful engraving captures a pivotal moment in French history during the tumultuous days of the Revolution. The image depicts King Louis XVI of France wearing the iconic Phrygian cap, a symbol of liberty and revolution, as two men of the people place it upon his head during the invasion of the Palais des Tuileries on 20 June 1792.
The scene is charged with emotion and symbolism, as the once all-powerful monarch is humbled by the will of the people. The Phrygian cap, originally worn by freed slaves in ancient Rome, became synonymous with freedom and resistance during revolutionary times. Here, we see King Louis XVI reluctantly donning this emblematic hat under duress from his subjects.
The tension and drama are palpable in this engraving, as history unfolds before our eyes. The artist has captured not only a historical event but also a profound shift in power dynamics that would ultimately lead to drastic changes in French society.
As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of the enduring legacy of the French Revolution and how ordinary citizens can rise up against tyranny to demand their rights and freedoms. It serves as a poignant reminder that no ruler is above accountability to their people.
