One of the most horrific paintings (its overwhelming symbolic detail) that I’ve seen (set amid the prospect of a people wanting more humane governance) is #Fragonard’s overrunning of the La Convention by « les #sansculottes », the head of député #Féraud presented high on a pike to #Président Boissy d’Anglas, who looks away. Almost a century after England’s ‘bloodless revolution’. #Art #Blood #Animals #Revolution #Right #Droit #People #Uprising
