The Storming of the Bastille is a 1790 history painting by the British artist Henry Singleton. It depicts the Storming of the Bastille on 14 July 1789. Commemorated as Bastille Day, it is considered a significant moment in the eruption of the French Revolution which later led to the Execution of Louis XVI in 1793. [1] [2] It portrays the assault on the Bastille, long a prison of the Ancien Regime, from the view of the insurgents. [3] Today the painting is in the collection of the Museum of the French Revolution in Vizille.
