More about this artwork

Jean Béraud's 1880 painting "La Marseillaise" vibrantly captures the spirit of France embodied in its national anthem and the fervor of French patriotism. The scene unfolds on a bustling Paris street, festooned with the tricolor flags of France. In the distance, the iconic Bastille column stands majestically, while the foreground teems with a lively crowd.Béraud's canvas is a masterful portrayal of public celebration. Diverse groups of people—men, women, and children—from various classes and backgrounds unite in a spontaneous chorus of "La Marseillaise." The individuals range from elegantly dressed men and women possibly belonging to high society to workers and simple townsfolk, all unified by their shared enthusiasm.The painting is particularly striking in its attention to detail—the textures of clothing, the animated expressions of the crowd, and the dynamic arrangement of figures all contribute to a sense of movement and sound. The atmosphere is charged with excitement, as if the viewer can almost hear the robust singing and feel the pulse of the parade.Jean Béraud, known for his realistic depiction of Parisian life, here not only documents an event but also captures the emotional resonance of collective identity and pride that the anthem evokes among the French people.
