Le Marseillaise Oil on canvas, 37.5 by 55.8 cm, by Jean Béraud, 1880 Location unknown |
||||||||||
| This spirited Bastille Day scene from 1880 reflects Béraud’s detailed realism and keen observation of Parisian life during the Belle Époque. A diverse crowd—workers, artists, and students—marches through the city, symbolising France’s renewal after the war. The varied figures, from labour leaders to bohemian artists and hopeful youth, highlight the social and political currents shaping the future. |
