EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print of "Alphonse Baudin on the Barricade of Faubourg Saint-Antoine, 3rd December 1851" transports us back to a pivotal moment in French history. Painted by Ernest Louis Pichio, this oil on canvas masterpiece captures the essence of Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Baudin's unwavering dedication to social justice and his ultimate sacrifice. Baudin, a renowned doctor and political figure, devoted his life to caring for the impoverished. Elected as a socialist deputy after the revolution of 1848, he became an influential voice for the working class. However, when Prince-President Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte dissolved the National Assembly in 1851 through a coup d'état, Baudin refused to stay silent. In this powerful image, we witness Baudin standing tall atop a barricade while attempting to incite rebellion among the workers of Faubourg Saint-Antoine. His resolute expression reflects both determination and defiance against tyranny. It is said that just before his tragic demise at the hands of authorities, he uttered his famous words: "You will see how one dies for twenty-five francs". This poignant artwork serves as a testament to Baudin's bravery and commitment to fighting for equality during tumultuous times. Preserved within Musee de la Ville de Paris' Musee Carnavalet collection in France, it continues to inspire viewers with its depiction of heroism and selflessness. As we gaze upon this historical artifact captured by Pichio's skilled brushstrokes, we are reminded that even in darkness there exists individuals who are willing to make extraordinary sacrifices for their beliefs - forever leaving an indelible mark on society's collective memory.
