EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 18th century oil painting depicts the pivotal moment of the Storming of the Bastille on July 14, 1789, during the French Revolution. The Bastille, a symbol of royal tyranny and a notorious prison, was attacked by an angry mob of Parisians, marking the beginning of the end for the Bourbon monarchy. In the painting, a large group of men, some brandishing weapons and others waving flags, storm the fortress's exterior. Smoke billows from the building as cannons are fired and the walls are breached. The crowd cheers and celebrates, their faces filled with a mix of excitement, determination, and relief. The Bastille, once a formidable penitentiary, now lies in ruins. This historic painting, held at the Musee Carnavalet in Paris, is a testament to the power of the people and their desire for change. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring the scene to life, transporting us back to a pivotal moment in world history.
