EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the enigmatic figure of Guy Jean-Baptiste Target (1733-1807), a pivotal French lawyer and statesman during the revolutionary era. Born in Bordeaux, Target rose to prominence in the legal world, earning a reputation for his eloquence and shrewd intellect. His political career began in earnest in 1789, as he was appointed to the Estates-General, the precursor to the National Assembly. Target's tenure in the National Assembly was marked by his unwavering commitment to the cause of the people. He was a vocal advocate for the rights of the Third Estate and played a key role in drafting the Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen. Target's influence extended beyond the Assembly, as he also served as a member of the Committee of Public Safety, where he worked alongside Maximilien Robespierre to enforce revolutionary measures. Despite his radical political stance, Target was not without controversy. He was accused of being a Jacobin sympathizer and was briefly imprisoned during the Reign of Terror. However, he was eventually released and continued to serve the revolutionary cause, albeit in a more low-key capacity. This portrait, taken during the height of Target's political career, offers a glimpse into the complex and intriguing life of a man who played a crucial role in shaping the course of French history. With his piercing gaze and stern expression, Target appears as a man of action, ready to take on the challenges of the revolutionary era. This image is a testament to the enduring legacy of a man who dedicated his life to the pursuit of justice and the betterment of society.
