EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a pivotal moment in history - the storming of the Bastille during the French Revolution. The image captures the intensity and chaos of that fateful day on 14th July 1789, as French troops charge towards the formidable prison. Thick smoke billows from their guns, adding an air of tension and drama to the scene. The Bastille, once a symbol of oppression under the Bourbon monarchy, represented everything that was despised by revolutionaries. Its fall marked a turning point in France's fight for freedom and equality. Today, Bastille Day is celebrated annually as a national holiday commemorating this significant event that sparked one of history's most transformative revolutions. The original artwork by Jules David has been masterfully captured in this stunning photograph from Hulton Archive/Getty Images. The choice to present it in black and white amplifies its historical significance while evoking a sense of timelessness. Whether displayed at home or in public spaces, this print serves as a powerful reminder of humanity's relentless pursuit for liberty and justice. It invites viewers to reflect upon past struggles while inspiring them to continue fighting for progress today
