Chapter 25: Enlightenment idealism, summed up in Rousseau's slogan “Liberty, Equality, Fraternity,” had inflamed popular passions and inspired egalitarian reforms. Nevertheless, from the storming of the Bastille through the rural revolts and mass protests that followed, angry, unreasoning mobs controlled the course of the revolution. Divisions among the revolutionaries themselves soon led to a more radical phase of the revolution, called the Reign of Terror. This phase saw the failure of the existing government and sent Louis XVI and his queen, Marie Antoinette, to the guillotine. Between 1793 and 1794, over 40,000 people (including Olympe de Gouges) met their deaths at the guillotine. Others, members of the radical minority known as the Jacobins, met death by the hands of their ideological enemies. Jean-Paul Marat (1743–1793), a Jacobin hero and radical antiroyalist journalist, was assassinated in his bathtub, an event immortalized by his friend, the artist Jacques-Louis David (discussed in chapter 26). Shown in the wooden tub he bathed in to treat a skin condition, he holds the letter by which his assassin, the royalist extremist Charlotte Corday, gained entry to his chambers (Figure 25.9 in textbook). The painting, presented by David to the National Convention in October 1793, four months after Marat's death, became a highly celebrated image of patriotic martyrdom. Within eight months, however, David himself was imprisoned, as the Reign of Terror ended with the sweeping condemnation (and execution) of Jacobin extremists.
