EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Departure of the women from the Halle for Versailles, on the morning of October 5,1789" transports us back to a significant moment in French history. The scene unfolds at Place de Greve, now known as Place de l'Hotel de Ville in Paris' 4th arrondissement. Created by Ary Scheffer between 1801 and 1850, this artwork captures an event during the French Revolution. The image showcases a bustling square filled with women preparing to embark on their journey to Versailles. Their determination is palpable as they gather their belongings and bid farewell to loved ones. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his engraving tool; we can almost hear the chatter and feel the anticipation that hangs heavy in the air. Through foggy streets illuminated by dim streetlights, Scheffer masterfully conveys both mystery and purpose. This atmospheric depiction draws us into a narrow landscape where historical significance intertwines with personal stories of bravery and resilience.
