EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning oil painting by Charles Thevenin, titled "Storming of the Bastille, July 14, 1789," captures the raw energy and intensity of one of the most pivotal moments in world history. The Bastille, a symbol of royal tyranny and oppression, is being stormed by a passionate and determined mob of Parisian men. At the forefront of the charge is Marquis de Launay, the governor of the Bastille, who is being seized by a group of men, including the figure in the lower right corner, identified as Bernard-René Jourdan de Launay. The painting's vibrant colors and neoclassical style bring the chaotic scene to life, with smoke rising from the buildings in the background and the sounds of shouts, cries, and the clashing of weapons echoing through the streets of Paris. The event depicted in this painting marked the beginning of the French Revolution and the end of the absolute monarchy. Today, this masterpiece is on display at the Musée Carnavalet in Paris, a testament to the rich cultural heritage of France and the enduring power of art to capture history in all its complexity.
