1789 Assembly Constitution Create Estate Meet Oath Paume Revolution S Hut Swear Sworn Tennis Serment
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print commemorates a pivotal moment in the French Revolution: the Tennis Court Oath. In June of 1789, as political tensions reached a boiling point, the Third Estate - representing the common people of France - were shut out from the National Assembly. Undeterred, they convened on a nearby tennis court at the Palace of Versailles to affirm their commitment to creating a just and equitable constitution for the nation. The date was the 20th of June, and the scene was captured in this historical image titled 'Serment du Jeu de Paume' or 'The Tennis Court Oath.' The Third Estate delegates, dressed in their everyday attire, gathered around a makeshift table, raising their hands in a solemn pledge. The atmosphere was charged with determination and resolve, as they vowed to continue their work, undeterred by the obstacles before them. This moment marked a turning point in the Revolution, as the people of France took matters into their own hands and began the process of shaping their own destiny. The Tennis Court Oath is a testament to the power of unity and perseverance in the face of adversity. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by those who came before us, and the enduring spirit of the French Revolution. This print, with its rich historical significance, is a must-have for any collection focusing on the events of 1789 and the birth of modern democracy.
