EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "L'Apothéose de la Monarchie" takes us back to a significant moment in French history, specifically the Third Republic. Published in 1933 as part of the political history book series, it offers a colorful lithograph by Edouard Guillaumin that showcases an intriguing commentary on French politics. The image portrays a scene filled with symbolism and satire. In the foreground, we witness both men and women engaged in what appears to be an extravagant orgy, representing the debauchery associated with the monarchy. Gold coins are scattered around them, symbolizing wealth and corruption within royalty. In stark contrast to this indulgence lies a scaffold adorned with religious leaders and politicians who seem destined for execution by guillotine. This depiction alludes to the dramatic shift from monarchy to republicanism that occurred on January 19th and 21st of 1793 when King Louis XVI was executed. Through this thought-provoking cartoon-like composition, Guillaumin skillfully captures the tension between power dynamics, religion, and politics during this transformative period in French history. It serves as a reminder of how political satire can shed light on societal issues while also reflecting upon past events. Bridgeman Images has preserved this historical gem through their Fine Art Finder collection, allowing us to delve into France's rich cultural heritage while contemplating its complex political landscape.
