EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history - the French Revolution: 21 June 1791. In this engraving after Georges Roussin, we witness the dramatic arrest of the royal family at Varennes-en-Argonne during their desperate flight from Paris. The image showcases King Louis XVI of France, Queen Marie Antoinette, and their two children, Madame Elisabeth (the king's sister) and their governess. They find themselves trapped in the inn of Varennes as revolutionaries close in on them. The tension is palpable as fear and uncertainty cloud their faces. The composition expertly conveys the gravity of the situation. The dimly lit room casts eerie shadows on their figures, symbolizing both confinement and impending doom. Their regal attire contrasts with the humble surroundings, emphasizing how far they have fallen from grace. This historical event marked a turning point in the French Revolution, exposing deep divisions within society and ultimately leading to further radicalization. It serves as a reminder that even those who once held absolute power can be brought down by forces beyond their control. Stefano Bianchetti's masterful reproduction brings this significant moment to life once again. Through his skilled craftsmanship, we are transported back to that fateful night when royalty collided with revolution - an indelible chapter etched into our collective memory.
