Moord op generaal Theobald Dillon before 1841

This etching by Joannes Bemme, titled "Moord op generaal Theobald Dillon", depicts the assassination of General Theobald Dillon, a French military leader, in 1792. The dramatic scene takes place in a barn, with soldiers crowding the doorway and a figure in the foreground drawing a sword. Bemme, known for his detailed historical engravings, captures the chaos and violence of the event, creating a powerful and evocative image. The artwork, housed at the Rijksmuseum, is a poignant reminder of the French Revolution and its turbulent consequences.
