French school of the 19th century. Charles Louis MULLER, after. "The call of the last victims of the Terror". Important oil on canvas (restorations). 103 x 163 cm. Gilded frame with scrolls and cartouche " La Conciergerie 7 Thermidor 1794. André CHENIER, J-Antoine ROUCHER, Aimée de COIGNY, the Princess of MONACO, the Marquis of ROQUELAURE, Mgr de Saint SIMON, Leonard, the Countess of NARBONNE PELET, JLM AUCANNE." Revue de l'art contemporain (1865): "M. Charles Muller has succeeded in his Appel des dernières victimes de la Terreur (1794). Immense canvas, quite filled, quite animated, and that the public, it must be recognized, has welcomed with predilection. Several groups are happy, the light is well distributed; there is color, movement, in places even pain, fear." Two other copies are known: one in the Conciergerie and the original in the Museum of Vizille. Biography: Charles-Louis Muller entered the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris in 1831 and was taught by Gros, who in 1825 had taken over David's studio. He made his debut at the Salon in 1834 and regularly exhibited his works there until his death. From 1841 to 1843 from 1841 to 1843, he studied in Rome. Several times, he devoted his brushes to scenes of the revolutionary period. Anti-republican and fervent Catholic, he painted many religious pictures for the State under the July Monarchy and the the Second Empire. Knight of the Legion of Honor in 1849, member of the Institute in 1864.
