EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking oil painting depicts the pivotal moment of the Storming of the Bastille on July 14, 1789, marking the beginning of the French Revolution. The oval-shaped canvas captures the chaos and intensity of the scene, as a determined group of men, armed with muskets and pikes, storm the imposing fortress. Smoke billows from the gunpowder explosions, adding to the sense of urgency and danger. The Bastille, a symbol of royal tyranny and a notorious prison, stands defiantly in the background, its high walls adorned with cannons. The attackers, dressed in various outfits, reflect the diverse social classes that united in their rebellion against the monarchy. The painting, with its rich colors and intricate details, is a testament to the historic event that forever changed the course of French and European history. This masterpiece is housed in the Musée Carnavalet in Paris, a renowned institution dedicated to preserving the heritage and history of the city and country.
