1789 Attacking Attacks Bastille Prise Prison Revolution
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in French history - the storming of the Bastille prison on July 14, 1789. The image depicts the Paris mob as they launch their attack on the fortress, symbolizing the beginning of the French Revolution. The intense energy and determination of the crowd is palpable in this historic scene.
The Bastille, a symbol of royal tyranny and oppression, was seen as a target for revolutionaries seeking to overthrow the monarchy and establish a more democratic society. The events depicted in this print marked a turning point in French history, leading to years of political upheaval and social change.
The artist has masterfully captured the chaos and violence of that fateful day, with dramatic lighting and dynamic composition drawing viewers into the heart of the action. Every detail - from the crumbling walls of the Bastille to the determined faces of those attacking it - tells a story of courage, defiance, and hope for a better future.
As we gaze upon this powerful image from Mary Evans Picture Library, we are reminded of the enduring legacy of those who fought for freedom and justice during one of history's most turbulent periods. It serves as a poignant reminder that even in times of darkness, ordinary people have always had within them extraordinary power to bring about change.
