EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "FRENCH REVOLUTION, 1792. We will eat the world and the kings will be silent" captures a pivotal moment in history when radical ideas of rebellion were at their peak. The image showcases a powerful scene where a sans-culotte, representing the common man, stands defiantly on top of an orb while stepping on the Bible. The engraving, created by a contemporary German artist during the French Revolution in 1792, symbolizes the revolutionary spirit that swept across France during this tumultuous period. It reflects both the desire for equality and freedom from oppressive monarchies. The sans-culotte's act of devouring the orb signifies his determination to dismantle traditional power structures and establish a new order where kings are rendered powerless. This bold gesture is further emphasized by his disregard for religious authority as he steps upon the Bible beneath him. Through this thought-provoking artwork, we are transported back to an era marked by fervent ideals and social upheaval. It serves as a reminder of how ordinary men played significant roles in shaping history through their unwavering commitment to change. This print from Granger Art on Demand offers viewers an opportunity to delve into one of humanity's most transformative periods –the French Revolution– and witness firsthand its impact on society.
