EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to 17th century Paris, where an old prisoner is finally freed from the infamous Bastille. The engraving, created in the 19th century by an unknown artist, beautifully captures this historic moment of liberation. The image portrays a sense of relief and hope as the elderly man steps out into the sunlight after years of confinement. His weathered face tells a story of resilience and endurance, while his eyes seem to sparkle with newfound freedom. The details in this engraving are remarkable; every line etched on his face speaks volumes about his journey. As we gaze at this piece, we are transported to a time when human rights were not always respected. The Bastille symbolizes oppression and tyranny, making this old prisoner's release all the more significant. It serves as a reminder that even in dark times, there is always room for triumph and justice. This engraving was featured in "Histoire de France" by Jules Michelet in 1870, adding historical context to its artistic value. Preserved within a private collection today, it stands as a testament to both French history and the power of art to capture profound moments. Stefano Bianchetti skillfully brings this scene to life through their restoration work on this print. Their dedication ensures that future generations can appreciate and reflect upon the struggles faced by those who fought for liberty during one of France's most tumultuous periods.
