Exhibition Witnessing the Terror (3 March 2020)
Team members and KCL students visited fascinating exhibition at UCL Art Museum.
In the spring of 2020, UCL Art museum exhibited a selection if its magnificent collection of French revolutionary prints, focusing on public violence. Curator prof. Colin Jones gave us a tour of these remarkable visible reminders of a particularly radical moment in revolutionary history. He also introduced participants to his ongoing research project on the life and letters of Innocente-Catherine de Rougé d’Elbeuf, a French duchess and front-seat witness of the French Revolution, whose voluminous correspondence was only recently rediscovered.
