EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving captures the portrait of Emmanuel Joseph Sieyes, a prominent figure in French history. Known as the Abbe Sieyes, he was not only a clergyman but also a political writer and one of the chief political theorists of the French Revolution. The print showcases his full-length figure, exuding an air of authority and intellect. Sieyes played a significant role in shaping the course of the revolution. His influential pamphlet "What is the Third Estate?" became a revolutionary manifesto that fueled unrest and led to transformative changes in France's social and political landscape. It helped establish the National Assembly, marking a crucial turning point in history. As an advocate for democracy and republicanism, Sieyes' ideas were instrumental in creating a new order during this tumultuous period.
