About the Item
The circa 1840 engraving "Défense de la Porte St-Denis - Trois Glorieuses", engraved by Jean-Pierre-Marie Jazet after a painting by H. Lecomte, vividly captures a defining moment from the July Revolution of 1830 in Paris. This event, known as the Trois Glorieuses or "Three Glorious Days," saw the people of Paris rise up against the regime of King Charles X, leading to his overthrow and the installation of Louis-Philippe I as the new monarch.
The scene focuses on the Porte St-Denis, one of the historic triumphal arches in Paris, which served as a strategic point during the revolution. The engraving depicts fierce fighting as revolutionaries defend the gate from the advancing royalist troops. Revolutionaries, a mix of common citizens, workers, and members of the National Guard, are shown battling on the streets, determined to repel the forces of the monarchy. The tension and energy of the confrontation are palpable, with figures in various stages of action, from aiming rifles to tending to the wounded.
In the background, the towering Porte St-Denis provides a powerful symbol of both victory and resistance. The French tricolor flag waves boldly amidst the chaos, reinforcing the nationalistic fervor of the revolutionaries. The engraving emphasizes the unity and determination of the people of Paris, who took to the streets to fight for their rights and liberties.
Jazet’s engraving technique masterfully conveys the drama and urgency of the battle, capturing the smoke-filled air, the movement of soldiers and civilians, and the chaotic energy of the scene. His attention to detail allows viewers to immerse themselves in the moment, feeling the intensity of the revolutionaries' struggle. The influence of H. Lecomte, the original painter, is also clear, as the composition draws heavily from the tradition of large-scale historical painting, designed to inspire and commemorate.
The Porte St-Denis, originally built to celebrate the victories of Louis XIV, takes on new significance in this artwork, representing the revolutionary spirit of the French people. During the Trois Glorieuses, the gate became a central site of resistance, and this engraving immortalizes that moment in history.
Jazet, a renowned engraver of his era, was known for his skill in translating important historical scenes into prints that could be widely distributed and appreciated. His engravings often brought important moments from French history to life, making them accessible to a broader audience. The collaboration with H. Lecomte, a painter who specialized in depicting historical events, was instrumental in capturing the significance of the revolution and the heroism of those involved.
"Défense de la Porte St-Denis" is more than just a historical record; it is a celebration of the spirit of the French people and their fight for liberty, equality, and fraternity. This engraving continues to hold significant value for art collectors and historians, particularly those interested in the July Revolution and 19th-century French history.
