EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Riot at Lyon, 27th November 1768" takes us back to a tumultuous moment in history. Created by the French School in the 18th century, this ink and wash on paper artwork captures a scene of chaos and rebellion. The image showcases an intense street scene filled with smoke, as rioters armed with pikes attack the School of Anatomy. This powerful photograph sheds light on the workers of Lyon's deep-rooted belief that their children were being dissected alive at the school. Fueled by anger and desperation, they took matters into their own hands, resulting in a violent clash between them and those inside the institution. Amidst all the commotion, one cannot help but notice a skeleton lying amidst broken furniture - a grim reminder of what sparked this uprising. The presence of dogs adds to the chaotic atmosphere while individuals can be seen brandishing walking sticks or canes as weapons. Located in Rhone Alpes region of France, Lyon became synonymous with this historic event that shook Europe during its time. This thought-provoking image serves as a testament to both human suffering and resilience against perceived injustices. Archives Charmet has preserved this significant piece from our past for future generations to reflect upon. Bridgeman Images presents it now through Fine Art Finder so that we may appreciate its historical significance without forgetting the lessons it teaches us about societal unrest and collective action for change.
