DBQ4: Reactions to Revolution
The painting above was created by French artist Paul Delaroche. Painted in the 1830s, it shows the artist's idea of what the mob that stormed the Bastille in 1789 may have looked like. The figure in white with the sword holds the keys to the Bastille. Other members of the crowd are carrying or dragging objects that they have taken from the prison.
