This engraving, titled "Night of 4-5 August 1789, or patriotic delirium" takes us back to the late 18th century during a significant moment in French history. Created by the French School, this print is housed at the Musee de la Ville de Paris, Musee Carnavalet in Paris, France. The image vividly depicts a scene of fervent patriotism and rebellion. Men can be seen passionately destroying the symbols and attributes of privilege. This powerful allegory captures the essence of the French Revolution that took place in 1789. The artist behind this masterpiece, Leonard de Selva, skillfully conveys the intensity and energy of this historical event through his intricate engravings. The attention to detail brings every aspect of this chaotic night to life.
