EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking oil painting, created by the artist A Donchery in the late 18th century, depicts Pierre-François Palloy, also known as "le Patriote" or "The Patriot," in the role of entrepreneur in charge of the demolition of the Bastille in 1789. Dressed in the uniform of the National Guard, Palloy gazes directly at the viewer with a determined expression. The black color of his clothing, consisting of a coat, jacket, and hat, stands out against the canvas material, adding to the dramatic effect of the painting. The Bastille, a symbol of royal tyranny and the beginning of the French Revolution, was a formidable fortress and prison located in Paris. Its demolition marked a significant turning point in French history, and Palloy's role in its destruction earned him the title of "The Patriot." This painting is a valuable historical document, providing insight into the clothing and fashion of the late 18th century, as well as the events that shaped the course of French history. It is currently housed in the Carnavalet Museum in Paris, one of the city's most renowned institutions dedicated to preserving the history and heritage of France.
