EDITORS COMMENTS
The French royal family passes the Convent at Passy on their journey from Versailles to Paris, capturing a pivotal moment in history. This coloured engraving by Jan Bulthuis depicts the scene with remarkable detail and precision. The image showcases a grand procession, led by the carriage of the French royal family, as they make their way through a crowd of Parisians. The atmosphere is charged with tension and anticipation, reflecting the turbulent times of 6 October 1789 during the French Revolution. In the background, windmills symbolize an uprising against old traditions and oppressive rule. Liberty hangs in the air as citizens gather alongside soldiers and revolutionaries armed with cannon and guns. The presence of gallows serves as a stark reminder of the consequences that await those who oppose change. The Convent at Passy stands stoically amidst this chaotic scene, its walls witnessing both resistance and transformation. It becomes a powerful symbol representing religious institutions caught in the crossfire between tradition and progress. This print not only captures an important historical event but also highlights how art can convey complex emotions and narratives. Through this engraving, we are transported back to a time when France was on the brink of significant social upheaval – an era that would forever shape its future.
