The La Convention Nationale group installs the Republic as a central actor. Allegorical figures, soldiers, and citizens form a pedagogical tableau that ritualizes national ideals.
🧭 Composition and Sightlines
- Raised platform ensures visibility across aisles.
- Central allegory binds flanking figures; gesture and gaze direct understanding.
- Backdrop and lighting curate emotional focus.
🪧 Message and Memory
- Courage and unity foregrounded.
- Citizen-soldier as moral figure.
- Text panels ground allegory in history.
Sculpture becomes civic theater—a stage for shared values.
