JEAN-URBAIN GUERIN (1761-1836) Oval view... - Lot 38 - Osenat
JEAN-URBAIN GUERIN (1761-1836) Oval view portrait in pencil on paper of Antoine-Pierre-Joseph-Marie Barnave, deputy of Dauphiné to the National Assembly in 1789 and elected President on October 24, 1790. Presented under a passe-partout of the period with black and golden ink borders, and framed under glass. 22.5 x 30 cm Eloquent orator, he will be part of the deputies sent to bring back the royal family to Paris after the flight to Varennes. He started a correspondence with Marie-Antoinette and joined the constitutional monarchists of the "Club des Feuillants", which earned him a charge of treason. This portrait was used for the engraving of the "Collection des portraits des généraux qui se sont le plus distingués dans les guerres de la république française" (Collection of portraits of the generals who distinguished themselves in the wars of the French republic) engraved by Fiesinger and of which a copy is kept at the Carnavalet museum (G.25230).
