EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an engraving titled "The new size: engraving on Neckers reform of 1788 - B. N" by the French School in the 18th century. Housed at the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, this artwork offers a glimpse into a significant moment in history. The image depicts a caricature that satirizes Jacques Necker's reform of 1788 during the French Revolution. With its black and white composition, this engraving exudes a sense of timelessness and elegance. The intricate details captured by Leonard de Selva's photography highlight the skillful craftsmanship behind this work of art. Necker, a prominent figure during his time (1732-1804), played an influential role as Minister of Finance under King Louis XVI. His proposed reforms aimed to address economic issues and alleviate social unrest leading up to the revolution in 1789. Through clever satire, this engraving sheds light on public sentiment towards Necker's policies. It serves as both historical documentation and artistic expression, offering viewers insight into political discourse during one of Europe's most transformative periods. As we admire this remarkable piece from Fine Art Finder, we are reminded of how art can transcend time and provide us with valuable perspectives on our past.
