Corbet and the Commissariat of Versailles
Corbet aligned with the paris commune as it attempted to establish its own french government. He was arrested and put on trial as a political instigator, but his case did not go well. The French government sued corbey for the money needed to replace the destroyed monument. By the time the judgment was passed down, all of corbe's assets had already been seized - including all his paintings. In 18 73 he left the country and headed for switzerland.
