About the Item

The circa 1840 engraving titled "Rue de Rohan - Trois Glorieuses", engraved by Jean-Pierre-Marie Jazet after a painting by H. Lecomte, captures a pivotal moment during the July Revolution of 1830 in Paris, known as Les Trois Glorieuses (The Three Glorious Days). This historic event spanned three days, from July 27 to July 29, and led to the overthrow of King Charles X and the rise of Louis-Philippe I, establishing the July Monarchy in France. The engraving illustrates the intensity of street battles, particularly at the Rue de Rohan, a key location in the uprising. The scene shows revolutionary citizens clashing with the royalist forces, with plumes of smoke filling the air from musket fire, while civilians and soldiers alike engage in the chaotic struggle for control of the city. The revolutionary fervor is encapsulated in the figure at the center, who defiantly raises the French flag, symbolizing the fight for liberty and the people's resistance against oppressive monarchy. Jean-Pierre-Marie Jazet, a prominent engraver of his time, was known for his ability to bring paintings to life in print, making them accessible to a broader audience. His work on this engraving powerfully conveys the tension and drama of the moment. The painter, H. Lecomte, captured the essence of this revolutionary spirit, emphasizing the bravery and determination of the insurgents during the July Days. This piece not only serves as a historical record of the events that reshaped France's political landscape but also stands as a testament to the artistic achievements of both Jazet and Lecomte. The Rue de Rohan engraving is sought after by collectors of historical prints, particularly those interested in works that depict significant moments in French history.
