EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment of the Opening of the General States at Versailles on 5 May 1789, as the Three Orders - Clergy, Nobility, and Third Estate - come together. The anonymous illustration from the "Collection des souverains et chefs d'etat de la France" depicts this significant event in French history. The image showcases a grand scene within the opulent walls of Versailles Castle. The atmosphere is charged with anticipation and tension as representatives from each order gather to discuss and address pressing political matters. This gathering would later become a pivotal catalyst for change during the French Revolution. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of color, bringing life to this historical moment. From the vibrant robes worn by clergy members to the elegant attire of nobles and commoners alike, each figure represents their respective order with pride. As we gaze upon this artwork today, it serves as a reminder of both human resilience and political transformation. It transports us back to an era where power dynamics were being challenged, paving the way for a new era in French society. This print is not just an exquisite piece of art but also a testament to our shared history. It invites us to reflect on how far we have come since that fateful day in 1789 when these three orders united under one roof at Versailles Castle.
