DiaporamaThe Nation Is in Danger, or the Enrollment of Volunteers at the Place du Palais-Royal in July 1792
1832
29.0 x 53.0 cm
This canvas is the only known fragment of a large painting exhibited at the Paris Salon of 1833. It was commissioned by King Louis Philippe d’Orléans as one of a series of pictures commemorating the history of his family’s official Paris residence, the Palais-Royal. The subject is typical of the patriotic, revolutionary imagery encouraged by the new king, in contrast to the medieval imagery propagated by his predecessor, Charles X. The painting was largely destroyed when the Palais-Royal was sacked during the French Revolution of 1848, which marked the end of Louis Philippe’s reign.
