EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment from the French Revolution in 1789, showcasing two contrasting scenes. In the foreground, we witness a lively and spirited dance known as the carmagnola, performed by a woman without panties. This provocative display of freedom and rebellion against societal norms reflects the revolutionary spirit that swept through France during this tumultuous period. In stark contrast, in the background stands a Grenadier citizen who has chosen to retain his bourgeois habit despite being part of the revolution. This juxtaposition symbolizes the complexities and contradictions inherent in any major historical event. The artwork itself is a gouache painting created by Lesueur Brothers in the 18th century and is currently housed at Musee Carnavalet in Paris. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring to life this pivotal moment in history with great finesse. As we delve into this image, we are transported back to an era marked by political upheaval, social change, and cultural transformation. It serves as a reminder of how art can capture not only historical events but also human emotions and expressions. This photograph was taken by Photo Josse and showcases their expertise in capturing fine art pieces with precision and clarity. It is an invaluable addition to any collection for those passionate about military history, traditional costumes, or simply appreciating art that tells stories from our past.
