1830
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Allocution (July 28, 1830) is a 1830 by Nicolas Toussaint Charlet, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a group of rough-looking men in a rocky, messy street. One guy in the front points at something while holding a rifle. Another holds a flag with words on it. In the background, soldiers on horses and a crowd are near a building with a tower. The title says it’s from July 28, 1830, and the text below looks like a speech or protest. The artist drew quick, rough lines to show action and emotion. Look up Romanticism next to see how this style used drama and everyday people.
Nicolas-Toussaint Charlet was a French painter and printmaker, more especially of military subjects.
