EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the Effigy Burning of Klinglin, Heymann, and Bouille on June 25,1791 in Strasbourg. The image showcases the intense atmosphere of the French Revolution, with its underlying themes of terror and rebellion. Executed by an anonymous artist from France, this watercolor etching is a testament to the power of graphic arts. The neoclassical style employed in this artwork adds depth and symbolism to the scene. It serves as a reminder of the guillotined fate that awaited figures like Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette during this tumultuous period. The Flight to Varennes by Bouille further accentuates their role in igniting public anger. Straw effigies are prominently featured within this composition, representing those who were condemned for their actions against revolutionary ideals. These symbolic representations were burned amidst fervent crowds as an act of retribution and defiance. Preserved within the esteemed Collection of Bibliotheque Nationale de France, this fine art print offers viewers a glimpse into one of history's most transformative eras. Its historical significance cannot be understated; it serves as both documentation and commentary on a pivotal event that shaped modern France.
