Charles Thevenin (1764-1838): A Masterful Chronicler of Revolutionary France and Napoleonic Wars From the storming of the Bastille on July 14, 1789, to Napoleon Bonaparte's imperial reign, Charles Thevenin's artistic vision captured the essence of France's tumultuous past. His engravings, including "Prise de la Bastille le 14 juillet 1789," "Attack and Conquest," and "The Surrender," documented pivotal moments in French history. Thevenin's works were created during significant periods, such as The Festival of the Federation at Champ de Mars on 14 July 1790, the Storming of the Bastille on 14 July 1789, General Augereau's victory at the Pont d'Arcole on November 15, 1796, and the surrender of Ulm, Germany, on October 20, 1805. Like "Robert Nanteuil and Claude Thevenin's 1657 work, served as visual records of the era, providing a glimpse into the events, people, and emotions that shaped France's history. Additionally, Thevenin's art intersected with the natural sciences, as seen in his collaboration with Jean Lamarck, a prominent French naturalist.
