About the piece
Created in 1848 by Jean-Charles Geslin, this evocative oil painting captures the distribution of flags to the National Guard in Paris. The architectural grandeur of the Arc de Triomphe is heightened by luminous lighting that contrasts sharply with the moody, atmospheric sky and the dense, shadowed crowd of participants below.
