EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in French history - the Oath of the King, the Queen, the Nation, and the National Guard at the Festival of the Federation on July 14th, 1790. Painted by Dubois in oil on canvas, this artwork is now housed in Musee de la Ville de Paris, Musee Carnavalet. The scene depicts Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette standing before an altar as they swear their allegiance to France alongside representatives of the nation and members of the National Guard. The soldiers stand tall and proud while Marianne, personification of France herself, watches over them with a sense of solemnity. This painting commemorates Bastille Day - an anniversary celebration marking one year since the storming of Bastille prison during the French Revolution. It symbolizes unity and patriotism as all parties come together to pledge their loyalty to their country. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke; from intricate facial expressions to ornate costumes worn by royalty and military personnel alike. This image serves as a powerful reminder of a pivotal moment that shaped French history forever. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back in time to witness this significant event firsthand. It reminds us not only of our shared heritage but also highlights how art can preserve moments that would otherwise be lost to time.
