EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning oil on wood painting by Pierre-Antoine Demachy captures the historic moment of the Demolition of the Bastille on July 17, 1789, during the French Revolution. The Bastille, a symbol of royal tyranny and a notorious prison, was stormed by an angry mob of Parisians, marking a turning point in the Revolution. In the painting, the crowd, a mix of men and women, is shown celebrating the fall of the fortress, with the National Guard standing guard to maintain order. The Bastille, once a formidable institution, now lies in ruins, its walls crumbling and its towers toppled. The once impenetrable penitentiary, now a relic of the old regime, is being dismantled, symbolizing the end of an era and the beginning of a new one. The painting, created in the 18th century, is now a cherished piece of heritage art, housed in the Musée Carnavalet in Paris, France. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring the historic scene to life, transporting us back in time to witness this pivotal moment in French history.
