EDITORS COMMENTS
painted by Hubert Follet in 1690, is a grandiose oil on canvas masterpiece housed in the Musee des Beaux-Arts in Verviers, Belgium. This Baroque painting is a testament to the power and importance of communal administration and the role it played in Flanders during the late 17th century. Follet masterfully depicts the triumphant procession of the communal administration, represented as a goddess, being welcomed into the city. The goddess is seated atop a chariot, surrounded by various allegorical figures representing the virtues of justice, wisdom, and strength. She is escorted by civic guards and other officials, all dressed in the finest attire of the day. The painting is rich in symbolism and mythological references. The goddess's chariot is drawn by two horses, symbolizing the strength and power of the administration. Above the goddess, the sky is filled with clouds parting to reveal the sun, representing the light of truth and justice. The painting also reflects the literary traditions of the time, with references to the works of Virgil and other classical authors. The inscription at the bottom of the painting reads "Virtus civica," or "Civic Virtue," emphasizing the importance of good governance and the role of the citizens in ensuring its success. The Triumph of the Communal Administration is a powerful reminder of the importance of effective governance and the role of the community in shaping its future. The painting's intricate details, vibrant colors, and rich symbolism make it a must-see for anyone interested in the history of Flanders, the Baroque period, or the history of art. Whether you're a scholar, an art lover, or simply someone interested in history, this painting is sure to leave a lasting impression.
