EDITORS COMMENTS
Hubert Robert's captivating oil painting, "La Bastille, dans les premiers jours de sa démolition, 1789," transports us back in time to the historic moments of the French Revolution. The image, created by the renowned artist Hubert Robert, also known as "Robert of the Ruins," showcases the iconic fortress of La Bastille in its early stages of demolition. The once imposing stone structure, which served as a symbol of royal tyranny and a notorious prison, now stands vulnerable to the relentless assault of the crowd. The painting, a masterpiece of the 18th century, is a testament to the power of change and the enduring spirit of the people. The vibrant colors and rich textures of the canvas bring the scene to life, with the smoke rising from the ruins adding a sense of drama and urgency. The men in the painting, dressed in the clothing of the time, are shown working together to bring down the fortress walls, symbolizing the collective desire for freedom and the dismantling of oppressive institutions. This painting, now housed in the Musée Carnavalet in Paris, is a significant piece of French heritage art that captures the essence of a pivotal moment in history. The exterior of La Bastille, with its intricate facade and towering walls, is depicted in all its glory, a reminder of the architectural marvel that once stood as a symbol of fear and control. The painting, with its romantic and evocative composition, is a must-see for anyone interested in French history, art, or the romantic era. Hubert Robert's "La Bastille, dans les premiers jours de sa démolition, 1789" is a powerful and moving work of art that continues to inspire and captivate audiences today.
