This black and white print, *Opstand van 13 Vendémiaire voor de Saint-Roche te Parijs* by Isidore-Stanislas Helman, depicts the "Whiff of Grapeshot" incident during the French Revolution. The artwork, created in 1797, captures the chaotic scene where Napoleon Bonaparte, then a young general, ordered his troops to fire upon royalist rebels in the streets of Paris. The image depicts the chaos of the battle, with smoke billowing from the cannons and frightened civilians scattering in the street. The print is a powerful testament to the violence of the French Revolution, and it remains a significant piece of historical art.
