EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "FRENCH REVOLUTION, 1793. The Violation of the Vaults of the Kings in the Basilica of St. Denis" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Painted by Hubert Roberts, a contemporary French artist, this fine art piece captures the aftermath of an event that shook France during the French Revolution. In 1793, amidst revolutionary fervor, this painting depicts workers and revolutionaries violating the sacred vaults beneath the Basilica of St. Denis. With a ladder propped against one of the royal tombs, a man can be seen descending into the underground chambers where centuries' worth of kings lay at rest. The image showcases both destruction and rebellion as these individuals disregard tradition and authority by desecrating these hallowed grounds. The damage caused to these vaults symbolizes not only an attack on monarchy but also a rejection of past regimes and their symbols. Through his brushstrokes, Roberts skillfully portrays this pivotal moment in history with vivid detail and emotion. This artwork serves as a reminder of how revolutions can reshape societies while challenging established norms. As we gaze upon this thought-provoking piece from Granger Art on Demand's Carousel Collection, we are transported back to that tumultuous time when ideals clashed and power shifted hands. It stands as a testament to human resilience and our constant pursuit for change throughout history.
