EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century oil painting, titled "The Rotonde de la Villette Surrounded by Versailles Troops," is a masterpiece by the renowned French artist Gustave Boulanger (1824-1888). The painting, completed in 1871, depicts a pivotal moment in French history during the Paris Commune, a rebellion against the French government. The Rotonde de la Villette, a neoclassical gateway located in Paris, serves as the backdrop for this dramatic scene. The gate, adorned with intricate carvings and columns, stands tall amidst the chaos of the rebellion. In the foreground, a large group of Versailles troops on horseback charge towards the city. The soldiers, dressed in their full military regalia, are determined and focused, their faces set with resolve. The painting's color palette is rich and vibrant, with the red and blue of the French flag fluttering in the wind, adding to the sense of patriotism and national pride. The smoke rising from the buildings in the background and the horses' hooves kicking up dust on the ground add to the chaotic and intense atmosphere of the scene. Gustave Boulanger, a master of neoclassicism and neo-Grec, expertly captures the tension and energy of this historic moment. The painting is now part of the collection at the Carnavalet Museum in Paris, a testament to the important role it plays in preserving the heritage and history of France.
