EDITORS COMMENTS
(The Taking of the Bastille by the Parisians...; And thus we punish the traitors) is a powerful and iconic image from the French Revolution, captured in this print dating back to 1789. The scene depicts a throng of determined Parisian citizens, armed with guns and pikes, gathered outside the Bastille fortress on July 14, 1789. The Bastille, a symbol of royal tyranny and oppression, had long been a source of resentment for the people of Paris. With the revolution in full swing, the citizens had finally taken matters into their own hands and stormed the fortress. The triumphant citizens are shown in the foreground, their faces etched with determination and resolve. In the background, the fallen Bastille looms ominously, its walls breached and its gates thrown open. But the real shock comes from the gruesome sight of several heads impaled on pikes, carried aloft by the victorious mob. These were the heads of traitors, a grim reminder of the price of treason and the determination of the Parisians to rid their city of its oppressors. The print, with its stark and unflinching depiction of the events of that fateful day, is a testament to the power and passion of the French Revolution. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by the citizens of Paris in their quest for freedom and justice, and the enduring impact of their actions on the course of history. The image is a poignant reminder of the revolutionary spirit that continues to inspire generations, and a powerful symbol of the indomitable will of the people.
