EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the year 1530, witnessing a pivotal moment in the life of Francis de Bonnivard. Painted by Jules Hippolyte Ravel in 1870, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures 52x81 cm and is currently held in a private collection. The scene depicted here showcases Francis de Bonnivard, an esteemed champion of republicanism from the city of Geneva. Standing before the imposing figure of the Duke of Savoy, he exudes both strength and defiance. This historical reconstruction captures a crucial turning point in Bonnivard's life as he confronts his oppressor head-on. Bonnivard's unwavering opposition to the power held by both the Duke and Bishop of Geneva led him to be imprisoned for six long years within Chateau Chillon on Lake Leman. Despite his confinement, his spirit remained unbroken as he became an enduring symbol of liberty for generations to come. This photograph offers us a glimpse into an interior setting where history was made. The attention to detail is impeccable; every brushstroke brings forth emotions that resonate with viewers even centuries later. As we gaze upon this image, we cannot help but feel inspired by Bonnivard's courage and determination. Displayed at Haynes Fine Art at Bindery Galleries on Broadway, this French artwork serves as a reminder that true freedom often comes at great personal sacrifice. Let us honor Francis de Bonnivard's legacy and
