Bastille Day Rejoicings: A Colorful Illustration of Popular Celebrations (circa 1901) This illustration, titled "Les Maitres de la Caricature: Issue 11, April 1880 - Theophile Alexandre Steinlen," depicts a joyous and celebratory scene commemorating Bastille Day on the 14th of July. The date marks the anniversary of the storming of the Bastille fortress in Paris in 1789, a pivotal moment in the French Revolution. The illustration is filled with an abundance of color and energy as figures happily converse and dance among each other. The lively crowd is a testament to the popular rejoicings that took place during this time, as the French people came together to celebrate their newfound freedom and unity. Theophile Alexandre Steinlen, a renowned Swiss artist and caricaturist, expertly captured the essence of the festivities in this illustration. His use of bold lines, vibrant colors, and dynamic compositions brings the scene to life, inviting the viewer to join in the merriment. The illustration is a beautiful reminder of the historical significance of Bastille Day and the unifying power of celebration. It also serves as a testament to the artistic talent of Theophile Alexandre Steinlen and the rich cultural heritage of France during this period. This illustration is part of the Mary Evans Prints Online collection and is a valuable addition to any collection of historical art or French cultural artifacts.
