The 3eme Republique, established after the War of 1870, marked a significant turning point in French history. It emerged from the ashes of defeat and turmoil, with the Government of the National Defense taking charge. Among its prominent figures were Jules Ferry, Ernest Picard, Louis Antoine Garnier Pages, Eugene Pelletan - individuals who played crucial roles in shaping this new era. Marianne et l'Action Francaise became symbolic representations during this time. Marianne embodied the spirit of France while Action Francaise represented a right-wing movement that sought to restore monarchy. These contrasting ideologies reflected the political landscape of the period. The circle of republican union gathered at cafes to discuss and strategize their plans for progress and reform. They believed in strengthening democracy and promoting equality for all citizens. Emmanuel Arago, Jules Favre, Henri Rochefort, Jules Simon - each portrait represents a key figure within the Government of National Defense. Their leadership skills and dedication helped navigate France through challenging times. General Louis Jules Trochu was another influential figure during this period.

Amidst these political developments, Alfred Naquet's presence cannot be overlooked either. Known for his progressive ideas on social issues such as women's rights and secularism, he contributed significantly to shaping societal norms during this time. The 3eme Republique witnessed both triumphs and challenges as it aimed to rebuild France after defeat in war. Through portraits like these and many others not mentioned here but equally important in their own right; we can gain insight into those who shaped this transformative era in French history.
