The Arrest of Louis XVI and his Family at Varennes, June 1791
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an evocative and historically significant image from the 19th century. The painting, inspired by Alphonse de Lamartine's "Histoire des Girondins," depicts a pivotal moment during the French Revolution when King Louis XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette, desperate and on the run, seek refuge at the home of Madame Sausse, the wife of a local grocer. The scene is set indoors, with the royal family huddled together, their faces etched with fear and desperation. Marie Antoinette, with her children clinging to her, pleads with Madame Sausse, invoking their shared roles as mothers and wives. However, Madame Sausse, with a steely resolve, responds, "You worry about your husband, and I'll worry about mine." This powerful image, painted by T.F. Marshall and exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1854, captures the tension and uncertainty of the time. The black and white engraving, published in the Illustrated London News, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of revolution and upheaval. The painting is a poignant reminder of the human cost of political turmoil and the complexities of loyalty and allegiance during times of crisis. The image is rich in historical detail, with the royal family dressed in the fashions of the 17th and 18th centuries, and the interior of the room reflecting the simple, rustic charm of a provincial French home. The painting is a testament to the power of art to capture and preserve history, and to spark our imagination and curiosity about the past. This image is a valuable addition to any collection of French Revolutionary history, and is a must-have for anyone interested in the history of France, European history, or the art of the 19th century. It is a powerful reminder of the complexities of history and the enduring power of art to capture and preserve the past.
