EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph captures a pivotal moment in French history - the Coup d'etat of 2 December 1851. In the image, we see the influential French financier and politician Charles de Morny, also known as Counte de Morny or Duke, engaged in conversation with a lady about the planned coup on the national assembly.
The tension and intrigue are palpable as they discuss their roles in this audacious political maneuver. De Morny's confident demeanor suggests he is a key player in orchestrating this historic event, while the lady's expression hints at her involvement or perhaps her apprehension about what lies ahead.
As they converse against a backdrop of political uncertainty and power struggles, one can't help but be drawn into their world of clandestine meetings and high-stakes decisions. The vibrant colors of the chromolithograph add to the drama unfolding before our eyes, transporting us back to 19th century France during a time of great upheaval.
This print serves as a reminder of how politics and ambition have always been intertwined throughout history. It invites us to ponder the complexities of power dynamics and human nature while offering a glimpse into an era marked by revolution and change.
