About the piece
Painted in 1853 by Alfred Dehodencq, this dramatic work depicts the arrest of Charlotte Corday following the assassination of Jean-Paul Marat. The scene is filled with the turbulent energy of a Paris street mob, rendered with the expressive brushwork and deep, atmospheric tones typical of the mid-19th-century French Romantic style.
