Description:
|
|
The painting was executed to commemorate the most important ceremony in Rome after the French occupation and the proclamation of the Jacobin Republic February 10, 1798: the Festival of the Federation, which was celebrated on 20 March. There were a series of marches; this depicts the final event, held in St. Peter's Square, the arrival of French and Roman troops to direct the Consuls towards the altar followed by ranks of deputies and representatives of the departments. The painting bears witness to the artist's participation as a fervent revolutionary, and the propaganda efforts of the French government. The work is the companion piece to another painting depicting the triumphal arch erected in Ponte Sant'Angelo on the occasion of the Feast of the Federation, also in the Museum of Rome (inv. MR 164).
