*The [Triumph](https://www.worldhistory.org/Roman_Triumph/) of Marat*, painting by Louis-Léopold Boilly, 1794.
Following his acquittal before the Revolutionary Tribunal on 26 April 1793, inflammatory journalist Jean-[Paul](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/Paul/) Marat is lifted on the shoulders of an ecstatic crowd of supporters, who place a crown of laurel on his head. It is a major victory for Marat's political faction, the Mountain, and would contribute to the downfall of their Girondin rivals less than two months later.
Palais des Beaux-Arts, Lille.
