Bibliotheque Nationale De France French Revolution Guillotine Guillotined Terror Copper Engraving
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "An Ordinary Guillotine. Ha, le bon soutien pour la liberte!, 1791-1794" takes us back to the tumultuous era of the French Revolution. The image, found in the Collection of Bibliotheque Nationale de France, showcases a powerful symbol of this period - the guillotine. The anonymous artist skillfully captures the essence of this revolutionary device through a neoclassical lens. The fine art copper engraving depicts a scene where an individual is being guillotined amidst a crowd filled with both fear and fascination. This graphic representation serves as a reminder of the terror that gripped France during those years. The phrase "Ha, le bon soutien pour la liberte!" (Oh, what good support for liberty!) boldly inscribed on the print adds another layer of irony to this macabre artwork. It highlights how violence was justified in pursuit of freedom during this turbulent time. As we gaze upon this historical artifact, we are transported back to one of history's most significant periods - the French Revolution. Through its intricate details and artistic execution, it reminds us not only of the brutality that took place but also serves as a testament to human resilience and our unyielding desire for liberty. This photograph print stands as an important piece within the collection at Bibliotheque Nationale de France; it allows us to reflect on our past while appreciating how far society has come since those dark days.
