Catalogue Note
L'original, immense tableau de Charles Louis Müller (437 x 820 cm), est conservé au musée de Versailles (dépôt au musée de la Révolution Française, Vizille). Cette scène historique montre les condamnés appelés un à un par l'huissier. Au centre de la composition le poète André Chenier, isolé et comme étranger à la réalité, entouré des autres victimes représentées dans diverses attitudes de douleur, supplication ou abattement.
