During the Grande Terreur (German: "Great Terror") lived in his lifetime extremely respected and later temporarily forgotten Nicolas-Antoine Taunay with his family in Montmorency, Val-d'Oise, 13 km north of the center of Paris. Taunay openly criticized the reign of terror with his painting depicting a march of Jacobins invading hell and even killing the demons and hellhound Kerberos. Maximilian Marie Isidore de Robespierre and Louis Antoine de Saint-Just are even carried on a litter by the revolutionaries, while behind them a guillotine is set up on a rock. The rest of the Jacobins are portrayed as mobs murdering in the bloodlust and even falling into cannibalism.
