EDITORS COMMENTS
The morning of the 10th Thermidor Year II; Maximilien de Robespierre, with a fractured jaw, spread on a table (chromolitho) captures a pivotal moment in French history. The chromolithograph by Etienne Lucien Melingue depicts Maximilien Francois Marie Isidore de Robespierre, a prominent lawyer and statesman during the French Revolution. In this powerful image, we see Robespierre lying on a table with his fractured jaw exposed. The intensity of his gaze suggests both pain and determination as he contemplates the events that led to his downfall. The artist's attention to detail brings out the raw emotions etched onto Robespierre's face. Robespierre played an influential role in shaping revolutionary France but eventually fell from grace due to his radical policies and excessive use of power. This print serves as a visual reminder of the consequences faced by those who wield authority without restraint. The chromolithograph is part of a private collection and showcases Melingue's skillful technique in capturing historical moments through art. Its inclusion in Fine Art Finder allows viewers to delve into France's tumultuous past and reflect upon the complexities of revolution. Leonard de Selva's photograph beautifully preserves this significant artwork for future generations to appreciate and study. It serves as an important testament to both Robespierre's impact on French society and Melingue's artistic prowess.
