EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative oil painting by Jean-Charles Geslin captures a pivotal moment in French history: the Distribution of Flags to the National Guard in front of the Arc de Triomphe on April 20, 1848. The painting transports us back to the 19th century, specifically to the 8th arrondissement of Paris, where the iconic Arc de Triomphe stands tall against the backdrop of a clear, illuminated sky. The architectural marvel, adorned with intricate carvings and illuminated by gaslights, serves as the perfect setting for this historic event. The painting depicts a joyous crowd gathered around the monument, cheering and applauding as the National Guard receives their new flags. The Guard, dressed in uniforms and bearing weapons, stand proudly, their faces filled with determination and pride. The sense of unity and camaraderie among the soldiers is palpable, reflecting the spirit of the February Revolution that had recently swept through France. The painting is a testament to the rich heritage and history of France, and a reminder of the pivotal role the National Guard played in shaping the country's future. It is an invaluable piece of art that has been preserved in the Musee Carnavalet in Paris, where it continues to illuminate the past for generations to come.
