During France's July Revolution in 1830, insurgents raised some four thousand barricades. In the following weeks, lithographs of the street fighting flowed from the presses, creating the barricade's first political imagery. This book documents the changing political valence of the revolutionary ideals associated with the barricade in France from 1830 to 1852.
The Revolution Takes Form coordinates the political reality of the barricade with the divergent ways in which its image gave shape to conceptions of class, revolution, and urban space in nineteenth-century France. Engaging the barricade's instability, art historian Jordan Marc Rosefocuses his analysis primarily on five politically charged works of art: Eug鋝e Delacroix's Liberty Leading the People, Honor?Daumier's Rue Transnonain, le 15 avril 1834 and L'卌eute, Auguste Pr嶧ult's Tuerie, and Ernest Meissonier's Souvenir de guerre civile. The history of these artworks illuminates the ways in which such revolutionary insurrections were characterized--along with the conceptions of "the people" they mobilized. Foregrounding a trajectory of disillusionment, growing class tensions, and ultimately open conflict between bourgeois liberals and the proletariat, Rose both explains why the barricade emerged as a compelling subject for pictorial reflection and accounts for its stabilization as the period's most poignant and meaningful symbol of revolution.
Original and convincing, this book will appeal to students and scholars of art history and, in particular, of the history of the French Revolution.
