EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Vendome Column, 19th Century" captures a pivotal moment in French history. The image depicts the iconic Vendome Column being toppled during the insurrection of the Commune of Paris on May 16th, 1871. Symbolic of military tyranny associated with Napoleon Bonaparte, this column stood as a powerful representation of oppression. The artist behind this thought-provoking piece is Daniel Urrabieta Vierge (1851-1904), whose talent shines through in his meticulous attention to detail. Published in Cent dessins: Extraits des oeuvres de Victor Hugo, this illustration showcases Vierge's ability to bring historical events to life. Gustave Courbet played a significant role in requesting the destruction of this symbolic structure. The crowd depicted in the engraving reflects both their determination and their jubilation as they witness the demolition taking place. Victor Marie Hugo (1802-1885), one of France's most celebrated writers and intellectuals, also had his work featured alongside this powerful image. Known for his contributions to literature and theater, Hugo's presence adds an additional layer of depth to this print. "The Vendome Column, 19th Century" serves as a poignant reminder of the struggle against oppression and stands as a testament to the power that art holds in capturing historic moments. This print from Bridgeman Images invites viewers into a world where destruction becomes symbolic resistance against tyranny.
