1789 Anthem Breasts Drummer Leads Marianne Revolution Revolutionary Song
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print captures the spirit of the French Revolution as Marianne, the symbol of the French Republic, leads the revolutionary army in the Marseillaise, the French national anthem. The year is circa 1789, a pivotal moment in French history when the monarchy was overthrown and the country embarked on a new path towards democracy. The image is filled with energy and determination as the general, dressed in military attire and brandishing a sword, rallies his troops. A drummer, positioned to his right, beats the rhythm of the Marseillaise, the anthem that would come to define the revolutionary spirit. The flag of the French Republic, with its tricolor cockade and Marianne's image, flies proudly above the scene. Marianne, the personification of Liberty, is depicted with an exposed breast, a symbol of her readiness to give her life for the cause. Her other breast is covered by the Phrygian cap, a symbol of freedom and the hat of liberty. This powerful image encapsulates the ideals of the French Revolution - liberty, equality, and fraternity - and the courage and determination of the revolutionary army. The Marseillaise, written in 1792, became the French national anthem in 1889 and remains an important symbol of French identity and pride. This print is a testament to the historical events that shaped France and continues to inspire generations. The revolutionary army, led by Marianne, marches forward, ready to defend the ideals of the French Revolution and create a new future for their country.
