EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Deputy Armonville, Robespierre and officials from the period of the French Revolution" takes us back to a pivotal moment in history. Painted by P. A. Lesueur and J. B. Lesueur, this gouache artwork showcases key figures during the turbulent era of the French Revolution. The central figure is Deputy Jean-Baptiste Armonville, instantly recognizable for his iconic red cap, symbolizing his allegiance to revolutionary ideals. Armonville was a prominent member of the Convention and played an active role in shaping France's destiny during this tumultuous time. Standing beside him is Maximilian de Robespierre, depicted wearing robes worn specifically for the Festival of the Supreme Being (Fete de l'Etre Supreme). Robespierre's influence as a deputy extended beyond politics; he served as both a Tribunal judge and village mayor. Surrounding these two influential men are other officials who played significant roles in shaping France's future. The painting captures their distinct costumes adorned with tricolore sashes, representing liberty, equality, and fraternity - core principles that fueled the revolution. This remarkable artwork offers us a glimpse into an era marked by political upheaval and social transformation. It serves as a reminder of how individuals like Armonville and Robespierre shaped history through their actions within government institutions while also highlighting their roles outside traditional politics. Displayed here is just one example from Fine Art Finder's private collection that brings historical moments to life through artistry captured
