Painting Description
"Louis Michel Le Peletier de Saint-Fargeau (1760–93)" is an oil painting by French artist Jean-François Garneray, created in 1793. The artwork serves as a posthumous tribute to Le Peletier, who was a significant political figure during the French Revolution. As a member of the National Convention, Le Peletier voted for the execution of King Louis XVI, a decision that led to his assassination on the eve of the king's execution.
The painting captures Le Peletier on his deathbed, presenting him as a martyr of the Revolution. It is imbued with symbolic elements that reflect the political climate of the time and the reverence for those who sacrificed their lives for the revolutionary cause. Garneray's work is notable for its historical significance and its portrayal of revolutionary fervor and the cult of martyrdom that was prevalent during the era.
The painting was commissioned by Le Peletier's brother, Félix Le Peletier, to honor his memory and to serve as a tool for revolutionary propaganda. It was exhibited at the Panthéon in Paris, as Le Peletier was the first to be buried there, symbolizing his status as a national hero. The artwork has since become an important visual document of the French Revolution, providing insight into the period's social and political dynamics as well as the aesthetic tendencies of revolutionary art.
Jean-François Garneray (1755–1837), the artist, was known for his historical and portrait paintings. His involvement in creating this piece places him among the artists who actively engaged with the tumultuous events of their time through their art. "Louis Michel Le Peletier de Saint-Fargeau (1760–93)" remains a significant work for its artistic merit and its place in the narrative of the French Revolution.
