La Bastille, dans les premiers jours de sa démolition 1789

Hubert Robert's "La Bastille, dans les premiers jours de sa démolition" (1789) is a historical painting depicting the Bastille, a former prison in Paris, in the days following its capture during the French Revolution. The imposing stone structure, now partially demolished, stands as a monument to the event, with figures gathered around its base, likely those involved in its destruction. The scene is painted in a realistic style, highlighting the drama of the moment and capturing the historical significance of the Bastille's fall as a symbol of the French monarchy's oppression.
