EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history during the Revolution of 1848. Alphonse de Lamartine, a prominent figure and poet of his time, is depicted at the Town Hall in Paris on February 26th, 1848. In this detail of Henri Felix Philippoteaux's painting, Lamartine can be seen refusing to accept the red flag as a symbol of revolution and instead opting for the tricolor flag. The image showcases Lamartine's unwavering commitment to preserving unity and order amidst political turmoil. His decision to reject the red flag, which represented radical change and upheaval, demonstrates his belief in finding stability through peaceful means. This act became an iconic moment that resonated with many who sought a balance between progress and tradition. Henri Felix Philippoteaux masterfully captured this scene with great attention to detail, allowing viewers to immerse themselves in the historical significance it holds. The painting itself is housed within the Peinture Palais Museum in Paris. Through this print from Fine Art Finder by Photo Josse, we are transported back to that fateful day when Lamartine made his stand against radicalism.
