65
Henri Félix Philippoteaux’s painting depicts Alphonse de Lamartine at the Hôtel de Ville on February 25, 1848, during the French Revolution of 1848. Lamartine, a poet and politician, rejects the red flag of socialism, advocating for the tricolor flag instead. This decisive act was pivotal in shaping the Second Republic.
