Armand Auguste Carnavalet Guerrilla Hearing Jules Marie Polignac Process Water Colour Cadoudal
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative watercolor painting captures a pivotal moment in the French Counter-Revolution, as Georges Cadoudal (1771-1804) stands before Auguste-Jules-Armand-Marie de Polignac during a hearing at the Palais Royal in Paris. Cadoudal, a Breton nobleman and former officer in the French army, became a prominent figure in the counter-revolutionary movement, leading a guerrilla campaign against the revolutionary government. The scene is set against a backdrop of rich, horizontal color, with the people in the painting dressed in the muted tones of the period. The grouping of the figures creates a sense of tension and drama, with Cadoudal's determined expression contrasting with the somber expressions of the people around him. Polignac, a powerful figure in the French court, sits at a table, his stern gaze fixed on the accused man. The use of watercolor adds depth and texture to the painting, with the subtle shading and blending of colors bringing the figures and setting to life. The painting is a testament to the skill of the artist, capturing the emotion and drama of a significant moment in French history. The Musée de Carnavalet in Paris, where this painting is housed, is a museum dedicated to the history of Paris and its people. This painting is just one of the many treasures in its collection, offering a glimpse into the past and the complex political landscape of the late 18th and early 19th centuries in France.
