Our video is about a conversation focusing on Chevalier Féréol de Bonnemaison’s painting Young Woman Overtaken by a Storm. The piece was painted in 1799 during the wake of the French Revolution. Its stormy background attests to the sociopolitical turmoil overtaking the country as a result of the movement to break away from monarchy. As a way to exercise our artistic conversationalist skills, our group attempts to decipher de Bonnemaison’s artistic intent.
