EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking portrait captures the intense gaze and unwavering resolve of Louis-Michel Le Peletier de Saint Fargeau, a prominent figure during the French Revolution. Painted by Jean-François Garnerey around 1793, the portrait portrays Le Peletier in the height of his political career as a conventionnel, or deputy, in the National Convention. The brown canvas material of the painting adds a sense of earthiness and authenticity, transporting us back to the tumultuous era of the French Revolution. Le Peletier's attire reflects the fashion of the 18th century, with a simple brown coat and a white shirt. His hair is styled in the fashion of the time, slicked back and parted in the middle. The portrait also showcases the concept of the "martyr of liberty," as Le Peletier was a strong advocate for the rights of the people and was ultimately executed during the Reign of Terror. The painting is now housed in the Carnavalet Museum in Paris, a historic institution that preserves the rich heritage of French history. Le Peletier's portrait stands as a testament to the country's tumultuous past and the enduring legacy of the French Revolution. The portrait also serves as a reminder of the important role that lawyers and political figures played during this pivotal period in history. The portrait's composition is simple yet effective, with Le Peletier depicted looking up, as if in deep thought or contemplation. The use of color adds depth and dimension to the painting, with the brown coat and white shirt creating a stark contrast. Overall, this portrait by Jean-François Garnerey is a powerful and evocative representation of a pivotal figure in French history.
