EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history - the Day of 13 Vendemiaire an IV, also known as the 5th October 1795. The image depicts a dramatic shoot-out unfolding before the iconic St. Roch church in Paris. Engraved by Jean Duplessi-Bertaux, this etching beautifully portrays the chaos and intensity of the royalist insurrection against the National Convention. In this historic event, Napoleon Bonaparte himself can be seen opening fire against the royalists, showcasing his military prowess even before his rise to power. The atmosphere is charged with tension as revolutionaries clash with counter-revolutionaries in a battle for control. This photograph serves as a visual testament to the spirit of revolt and uprising that characterized France during this tumultuous period of history. With its intricate details and expert craftsmanship, Charles Monnet's work brings this historical moment to life once again. Preserved within Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, it stands as a powerful reminder of past struggles for freedom and democracy. As we gaze upon this image from Fine Art Finder, we are transported back to an era defined by rioting, rebellion, and revolutionary fervor. It serves as both a window into our shared human history and an inspiration for future generations striving for justice amidst political turmoil.
