EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving takes us back to the tumultuous year of 1793 in Paris, France. The image depicts Charlotte Corday, a young woman with a determined expression on her face, standing at the knife maker Badin's shop under the arcades of the Palais-Royal. This historical moment is captured from Alphonse de Lamartine's "Histoire des Girondins" published between 1865 and 1866. Charlotte Corday was a key figure during the French Revolution, known for her assassination of Jean-Paul Marat, a prominent Jacobin leader. In this print by Stefano Bianchetti, we see Corday seeking out Badin to purchase the weapon she would later use in her fateful act. The composition exudes an air of secrecy and tension as Corday stands amidst bustling crowds beneath the elegant arches. The artist skillfully portrays both the determination in Corday's eyes and the weighty atmosphere surrounding her. This powerful image serves as a reminder of one woman's bold attempt to shape history through drastic means. It invites viewers to reflect on how individuals can be driven to extreme actions when faced with political turmoil and injustice. As we gaze upon this engraving from our private collection, we are transported back in time to witness a pivotal moment that forever altered France's course during this turbulent period.
