EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the "Model of the Bastille. Oath of Children, c. 1793" an extraordinary piece found in the esteemed collection of Musee Carnavalet in Paris, France. The image takes us back to a crucial moment in history during the French Revolution, where neoclassicism and graphic arts intertwine to depict a powerful scene. The model itself represents the infamous Bastille prison, symbolizing tyranny and oppression under the Ancien Régime. In this particular artwork, created by Jean Baptiste Lesueur between July 1789 and 1793, we witness a significant event known as the Storming of the Bastille. The composition is filled with emotion as children take an oath before this symbolic structure that once held political prisoners captive. Their determination reflects their commitment to liberty and equality—a testament to their revolutionary spirit. Gouache on cardboard brings vibrant colors to life while adding depth and texture to every brushstroke. This fine art creation not only captures historical accuracy but also evokes strong emotions within viewers who delve into its rich narrative. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph print from Heritage Images, we are reminded of how pivotal moments like these shaped world history forever. It serves as a poignant reminder of human resilience against oppressive regimes and stands as a tribute to those who fought for freedom during one of France's most turbulent periods—the French Revolution.
