EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of family life in the late 18th century. The painting, titled "Family Portrait, formerly known as Michel Gerard (1737-1815) member of the Convention" depicts a Breton peasant proprietor named Michel Gerard and his loved ones. Painted by Jacques Louis David or an artist associated with him, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures 160x127 cm and is currently housed at the Musee de Tesse in Le Mans, France. In this intimate scene, we see Michel Gerard surrounded by his family members - his wife, children, and even their pet dog. The composition exudes warmth and harmony as they gather around a harpsichord to create music together. This image not only showcases familial bonds but also hints at the political climate of that era. Michel Gerard himself was a member of the Convention during the French Revolution. His involvement in politics is symbolized by a cup placed prominently on the table beside him - perhaps representing his affiliation with Jacobin clubs. The details captured in this photograph allow us to step back in time and witness a moment frozen forever on canvas. It serves as a reminder of both personal connections within families and broader historical events that shaped society during those turbulent times.
