Bernard Buffet's *La prise de la Bastille (The Storming of the Bastille)* captures the iconic moment of the French Revolution through his distinctively stark and expressive lithographic style. Printed in colors on Arches paper, the composition features Buffet's characteristic sharp, angular lines and bold contrasts, conveying the dramatic tension and raw energy of the historic uprising. The full margins of the fine Arches paper lend the work an elegant presentation, underscoring its status as a masterful example of Buffet's graphic artistry.
