EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history - the attempted attack on Edward, Prince of Wales in Brussels in 1900. The image showcases the dramatic scene where Jean Baptiste Sipido, a 16-year-old anarchist, is being restrained after his audacious assassination attempt on the future king. Published as an illustration in Le Petit Journal on April 22nd, 1900, this artwork provides a vivid glimpse into the political turmoil and unrest of that era. The composition depicts a bustling street near a railway station, with people going about their daily activities unaware of the imminent danger lurking nearby. Amidst this seemingly ordinary setting, chaos erupts as Sipido's sinister intentions are thwarted by vigilant guards and bystanders who swiftly intervene to protect Prince Edward. The use of color adds depth and intensity to the image while emphasizing the gravity of this historic event. The vibrant hues bring life to every detail - from the bicycles lining the lane to Prince Edward waving farewell before departing from Brussels. This powerful visual encapsulates not only an act of crime but also serves as a reminder of how politics can ignite radical ideologies leading individuals towards extreme measures. It stands as an enduring testament to both human resilience and our collective commitment to safeguarding peace and stability amidst turbulent times.
