EDITORS COMMENTS
Monsieur Veto: The Monstrous Embodiment of Monarchical Power and Despotism in the Waning Days of the Ancien Régime This haunting image, titled "Monsieur Veto," captures the essence of the monarchical veto power and the fear it instilled in the people during the tumultuous final years of the Ancien Régime in France. The print, created in 1789, depicts a monstrous giant, symbolizing the absolute power of the king's veto, being welcomed at an entryway by a nobleman. The giant's monstrous appearance is accentuated by his scaly hands and feet, as well as his despotism-embodying bar used to enchain prisoners. The broken sword at his feet serves as a poignant reminder of the shattered power of the Estates-General, the traditional legislative body of the realm, which had been rendered impotent by the king's unchecked veto power. The lightning bolts hissing from his mouth symbolize the fear and intimidation that the veto power inspired in the common people, represented by the sans-culottes, national guardsmen, and dogs, who are shown in hot pursuit. The arrival of Monsieur Veto at the entryway of the palace signifies the growing tension between the monarchy and the people, as the latter demanded greater representation and a voice in the governance of their own country. This powerful and evocative image serves as a testament to the profound impact of the monarchical veto power on the French political landscape, and the eventual upheaval that would lead to the French Revolution and the end of the Ancien Régime.
