EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "FRENCH REVOLUTION: VENDEE. The drowning of Vend" takes us back to a tumultuous period in history, the French Revolution. In this scene, we are transported to the late 18th century, where a group of men and women stand outside a house by the river side, watching intently as an unsettling event unfolds. The focal point of the image is Pierre, a fisherman who stands on his row boat with an oar in hand. He is surrounded by other boatmen and spectators who witness an act of punishment being carried out on behalf of the revolutionary forces. A victim from Vendee, known for their rebellion against the new regime, is about to be drowned in the Loire River. The cruelty and suppression during this time are evident as we see Jean Baptiste Duplessis holding a musket while Gabriel Bertaux wields a sword with bayonets attached. The engraving captures both fear and defiance on the faces of those present. As we delve into this historical moment through artistry, it serves as a reminder of how power can lead to extreme measures even amidst cries for liberty and equality. This thought-provoking piece from Granger Art on Demand's Carousel Collection transports us back to one of history's darkest chapters - The Reign of Terror during the French Revolution.
