EDITORS COMMENTS
This oil painting by Jean-Charles Geslin, titled "Promulgation of the Constitution, Place de la Concorde, November 12, 1848," offers a glimpse into a pivotal moment in French history. The scene unfolds at Place de la Concorde in Paris, during the February Revolution of 1848. The grandstand at the center of the composition is filled with dignitaries and citizens, all gathered to witness the promulgation of a new constitution. The atmosphere is festive, with men in military uniforms and civilians alike donning colorful attire, creating a vibrant and lively scene. The painting captures the moment of constitutional declaration, with a man in a top hat holding up a copy of the new document for all to see. In the background, troops stand at attention on the parade ground, their weapons at the ready. The cityscape of Paris is depicted in the distance, with the iconic obelisk of Place de la Concorde serving as a prominent landmark. This historic painting is a testament to the tumultuous events of the 19th century, a time of rebellion and revolution in Europe. It is now part of the collection of the Musée Carnavalet in Paris, a museum dedicated to the history of the city. The painting's rich colors and intricate details bring the past to life, transporting us back to a time of great change and upheaval.
