EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the momentous events of 14th July 1789, when French troops stormed the Bastille during the French Revolution. The image captures the intensity and chaos of that historic day, as a crowd of determined revolutionaries gathers outside the prison walls. The Bastille, a symbol of oppression under the despised Bourbon monarchy, stood tall in defiance. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness an army of rebels armed with weapons storming towards their target. Smoke billows from guns fired into the air, creating an atmosphere thick with tension and anticipation. The composition is powerful yet hauntingly beautiful; it transports us to a pivotal moment in history where violence clashed against tyranny. The landscape is shrouded in darkness as if echoing the struggles faced by those fighting for freedom. Bastille Day now commemorates this event every year, marking its significance as a turning point in French culture and history. This photograph serves as a reminder of how ordinary people can come together to challenge oppressive regimes and fight for justice. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of artwork after Jules David's original creation, we are reminded not only of France's revolutionary past but also our shared human capacity for resilience and determination in times of conflict.
