EDITORS COMMENTS
This oil on canvas painting, titled "Night of the 9 Thermidor year II (July 27,1794)" by Valeri Ivanovich Jacobi, takes us back to a pivotal moment in history. The artwork depicts the dramatic scene of Maximilien Robespierre lying wounded on a table in the room of the Committee of Public Salvation. Surrounding him are the triumphant Thermidorians who observe his downfall with smirks and laughter. Jacobi's masterful use of colors brings this historical event to life. The vibrant hues add intensity to the atmosphere, emphasizing both betrayal and political turmoil. Through his brushstrokes, he captures not only Robespierre's physical pain but also the cruelty and mockery directed towards him. The painting serves as a powerful reminder of one man's rise and fall during the French Revolution. Robespierre, once an influential figure in France, became a victim of his own terror-filled reign as he faced opposition from within his own ranks. Displayed at the State Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow, this artwork is a testament to Jacobi's skill as an artist and storyteller. It invites viewers to reflect on themes such as power dynamics, politics, and human nature while immersing themselves in this significant chapter in history. (Photo © Fine Art Images)
