EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history - the French Revolution of 1789. Depicting the iconic event of the storming of the Bastille on July 14th, this allegorical illustration by Tancredi Scarpelli brings to life the spirit and determination of the people. The central figure, portrayed as a woman, embodies both strength and enlightenment as she holds a torch and sword, symbolizing liberty and justice. Wearing a Phrygian cap, an emblematic headgear associated with freedom since ancient times, she stands tall amidst chaos and revolution. Her presence represents not only the struggle for political change but also serves as an embodiment of patriotism. Scarpelli's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his brush. The vibrant colors bring vitality to this historical scene while capturing the essence of France during this transformative period. This artwork is part of Paolo Giudici's "Storia d'Italia" (History of Italy) published in 1930. As we gaze upon this image from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded that revolutions are driven by ordinary people who dare to challenge oppressive systems. It serves as a powerful reminder that throughout history, individuals have fought for their rights and freedoms against all odds. This print invites us to reflect on our own roles within society and encourages us to stand up for what we believe in – just like those brave souls who stormed the Bastille over two centuries ago.
