EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning oil painting by Henry Singleton, titled 'Storming of the Bastille, July 14, 1789,' captures the raw energy and passion of the French Revolution. The oval-shaped canvas transports us back to a pivotal moment in world history, as the crowd of men and women, dressed in a mix of eighteenth-century fashion and makeshift armor, storm the iconic Bastille prison in Paris. The penitentiary, once a symbol of tyranny and oppression, crumbles before the relentless force of the rebellious mob. The British artist Henry Singleton masterfully depicts the chaos and excitement of the scene, with figures of all ages and genders, some brandishing weapons and others waving flags, surging forward in a wave of revolutionary fervor. The Bastille's imposing walls, once a fortress, now appear fragile and vulnerable, as the crowd breaches the gates. The painting's vibrant colors and intricate details bring the historic event to life, making it a valuable addition to any collection of heritage art or historical paintings. The 'Storming of the Bastille' painting is a testament to the power of the people and their ability to challenge the status quo. It is a concept that continues to resonate with us today, as we reflect on the importance of upholding the rule of law and fighting for justice and equality. This masterpiece is now proudly displayed at the Musée Carnavalet in Paris, one of the city's most esteemed museums, where it serves as a reminder of France's rich and complex history.
