EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history - the French Revolution. In this engraving by Janinet Jean Francois, we witness the iconic scene of General La Fayette leaving the Paris City Hall to embark on his journey to Versailles on October 5,1789. As he descends from the Hotel de Ville, M. de la Fayette stands at the head of a formidable troop, ready to face whatever lies ahead. The crowd that gathers around him reflects both curiosity and anticipation for what this historic event will bring. The image is rendered in black and white, adding an air of timelessness and emphasizing the gravity of this revolutionary period. The military uniforms worn by La Fayette and his soldiers symbolize their commitment to fighting for change and freedom. Intriguingly, this engraving not only documents a significant moment in French history but also showcases Janinet's artistic talent. His attention to detail brings each figure to life while capturing the energy and tension that permeated society during those tumultuous times. Stefano Bianchetti has preserved this remarkable piece as part of his private collection, ensuring its historical significance endures for generations to come. This print serves as a powerful reminder of how one man's departure from Paris City Hall sparked a revolution that would forever shape France's destiny.
