The Committee of Public Safety, a pivotal body during the French Revolution, was a powerful executive committee responsible for maintaining order and implementing policies. Maximilien Robespierre, its influential leader, is depicted here awaiting his execution in 1794, alongside fallen comrades Georges Danton and Louis Antoine de Saint-Just. The once hailed saviors of the revolution now faced their own demise during the Reign of Terror. In contrast, an allegorical figure of Justice stands firm during the Directoire era, symbolizing the balance and fairness that followed the chaotic period. Citizens presented certificates of good citizenship before the Committee in 1793, with Robespierre overseeing proceedings. The fall of the Committee of Public Safety marked a significant turning point in French history, leading to the eventual end of the revolution.
