EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Granger Art on Demand takes us back to the turbulent era of the French Revolution in 1795. The image showcases a shocking scene that encapsulates the chaos and violence that characterized this period of French history. In the center of the frame, we see the severed head of Jean Feraud, a Deputy at the Convention, being carried on a bayonet. This gruesome act of decapitation serves as a stark reminder of the brutality and bloodshed that unfolded during this time. The drawing was skillfully created by Baron Dominique Vivant Denon, capturing both the horror and historical significance of this event. The frenzied mob surrounding Feraud's head adds to the sense of disorder depicted in this artwork. It is evident that France was engulfed in riotous turmoil, with pikes raised high and an atmosphere filled with tension. This powerful image transports us back to late May 1795 when these events took place. It offers viewers a glimpse into one aspect of what transpired during those tumultuous times - an attack on authority figures symbolized by Feraud's decapitated head. As we reflect upon this photograph print from The Granger Collection, it serves as a poignant reminder not only of France's revolutionary past but also as a testament to human resilience amidst periods marked by political upheaval and societal transformation.
