EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "La Journee du 21 juillet 1789. The Storming of Strasbourg City Hall on July 21,1789" takes us back to a pivotal moment in French history. Created around the year 1790, this watercolour and graphic arts masterpiece is housed within the esteemed Collection of Bibliotheque Nationale de France. The image transports us to the heart of revolution as we witness the intense atmosphere surrounding the storming of Strasbourg City Hall during the French Revolution. The neoclassical style employed by Devere, an active artist from that era, adds depth and drama to this historical scene. Intriguingly, elements like guillotines symbolize both terror and justice intertwined during those tumultuous times. This copper engraving serves as a powerful reminder of how revolutionary ideals clashed with traditional structures. As we study this fine art piece closely, it becomes evident that it captures not only a specific event but also represents broader themes such as liberty, equality, and fraternity—the very essence of the French Revolution itself. Preserved meticulously by Bibliotheque Nationale de France, this print allows us to delve into history's pages and appreciate its artistic rendition. Let us cherish these glimpses into our past for they hold valuable lessons about human resilience and societal transformation.
