Statue de Marat
LA STATUE :
En 2012, une sculpture en bronze de Jean-Paul Marat est réalisée par la fonderie Barthélemy Art, d'après le second modèle en plâtre de Jean Baffier de 1883, afin d'être installée sur le parvis du musée de la Révolution française à Vizille. Une première version en bronze de 1883 avait été achetée par la ville de Paris et installée dans différents parc publics, le parc Montsouris puis les jardins du musée Carnavalet et enfin le parc des Buttes-Chaumont avant d'être fondue durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Sur l'énorme bloc de pierre supportant la sculpture, une citation extraite du journal de Marat, L'Ami du peuple, est gravée : « Tu te laisseras donc toujours duper, peuple babillard et stupide. Tu ne comprendras jamais qu'il faut te défier de ceux qui te flattent ».

JEAN-PAUL MARAT :
Jean-Paul Marat (French: [ʒɑ̃pɔl maʁa]; 24 May 1743 – 13 July 1793) was a French political theorist, physician, and scientist who was a radical journalist and politician during the French Revolution. His journalism became renowned for its fierce tone, uncompromising stance towards the new leaders and institutions of the revolution, and advocacy of basic human rights for the poorest members of society, yet calling for prisoners of the Revolution to be killed before they could be freed in the September Massacres. He was one of the most radical voices of the French Revolution. He became a vigorous defender of the sans-culottes, publishing his views in pamphlets, placards and newspapers, notably his periodical L'Ami du peuple (Friend of the People), which helped make him their unofficial link with the radical, republican Jacobin group that came to power after June 1793.
Marat was assassinated by Charlotte Corday, a Girondin sympathizer, while taking a medicinal bath for his debilitating skin condition. In death, Marat became an icon to the Jacobins as a revolutionary martyr, as portrayed in Jacques-Louis David's famous painting, The Death of Marat. For this assassination, Corday was executed four days later, on 17 July 1793.
