EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic figure of Charlotte Corday, engraved by Stephane Pannemaker. Charlotte Corday was a prominent historical figure who lived from 1768 to 1793 during the tumultuous times of the French Revolution. Known for her role as an assassin, she is depicted here in a profile view that exudes both strength and determination. The engraving skillfully captures Corday's features with intricate detail, highlighting her piercing gaze and resolute expression. The relief technique used adds depth and texture to the image, enhancing its visual impact. This portrait serves as a powerful reminder of one woman's bold act against Jean-Paul Marat, a radical journalist and politician whose influence during the revolution was significant. Corday's actions were driven by her allegiance to the Girondin faction, which opposed Marat's extremist views. Her decision to assassinate him in his own home sent shockwaves throughout France and further fueled political tensions during this turbulent era. This artwork not only commemorates Corday herself but also symbolizes the complex dynamics of power struggles and ideological clashes that defined the French Revolution. It stands as a testament to both her individual courage and larger historical forces at play. Displayed in private collections around the world, this engraving invites viewers to reflect on an extraordinary moment in history when individuals like Charlotte Corday made indelible marks on society through their unwavering convictions.
