This print captures the dramatic moment of "The Arrest of Robespierre on 27 July 1794" a pivotal event during the French Revolution. Created by Jean-Joseph-Francois Tassaert around 1796, this artwork is based on an original painting by Fulchran-Jean Harriet. The scene depicts the downfall of Maximilien Robespierre, one of the most influential figures in the revolution.

Through meticulous attention to detail, he recreates every nuance from Harriet's original work. This particular print is part of a private collection that cherishes fine art images related to French history. It serves as a reminder not only of Robespierre's fall but also highlights the significance of Thermidor -the ninth month in the revolutionary calendar- when power shifted away from Jacobins towards more moderate forces within France.
