EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic painting "Death of Marat in 1793" by the French School, dating back to the 19th century. The image captures a pivotal moment in history during the French Revolution, depicting the lifeless body of Jean-Paul Marat, a prominent figure and journalist who played a significant role in shaping public opinion at that time. The composition is masterfully engraved by Leonard de Selva, highlighting every intricate detail with precision and finesse. The intense emotions conveyed through this artwork are palpable; it serves as a poignant reminder of the turbulent times that marked this era. Marat's assassination by Charlotte Corday, which took place in his bathtub on July 13th, 1793, is immortalized here. This event symbolizes both political turmoil and personal tragedy within France during this period. Through skillful brushstrokes or rather engraving techniques employed by de Selva, we can witness Marat's lifeless body draped across his writing desk while blood stains his white garments. This powerful image invites viewers to reflect upon the sacrifices made for revolutionary ideals and reminds us of how art can capture historical moments with such profound impact. As an important piece from our private collection, we are honored to share this remarkable work with you today.
