About the piece
Created by Gustave Boulanger in 1871, this powerful composition documents the intensity of the Paris Commune. The scene is set against the recognizable landmarks of the Place de la Concorde, where the artist skillfully captures the chaotic energy of the battle through dense, atmospheric smoke and the dynamic movement of the National Guard.
