EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous event in French history - "The Oath of the Tennis Court". Painted by Jacques Louis David, this preparatory drawing depicts the scene that took place on June 20,1789, during the French Revolution. At its center stands Jean Sylvain Bailly, surrounded by a passionate crowd of deputies who have sworn not to disband until a constitution is drafted. The composition exudes an air of determination and unity as these individuals come together to fight for their rights and demand change. The artist's skillful use of light and shadow adds depth to the image, emphasizing the gravity of this pivotal moment. Located at Musee et Domaine National de Versailles et de Trianon in Versailles, France, this artwork serves as a powerful reminder of the power of collective action and the pursuit of justice. Through Luisa Ricciarini's lens, we are transported back to this significant historical event. As we gaze upon this print, we cannot help but be moved by the courage and conviction displayed by those depicted. It serves as a testament to human resilience and our innate desire for freedom. This photograph is not just an artistic masterpiece; it is also a symbol of hope and inspiration for generations to come.
