EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a fragment of the monumental painting titled "Fragment of the Triumph of the French People, or The 10 August, 1799" by Philippe Auguste Hennequin. Painted on canvas and measuring an impressive 224x175 cm, this artwork is housed in the Musee des Beaux-Arts in Rouen, France. The image captures a powerful moment from the French Revolution, depicting triumphant figures amidst a scene filled with allegorical symbolism. A female figure stands at the center, exuding strength and determination as she represents the spirit of the French people. Surrounding her are male figures who join in her triumph. The composition is rich with detail and meaning. A mirror reflects both figurative and literal reflections, adding depth to this allegory. This fragment serves as a reminder of an important historical event - Le dix août (the tenth of August) - when power was transferred from King Louis XVI to revolutionary forces. Dating back to 1820, this canvas has been cut into several fragments over time but still retains its impact and significance within art history. As we gaze upon this photo print, we are transported back to that pivotal moment in history when ordinary individuals rose up against oppression and fought for their freedom.
