EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous event in history - the Celebration of the Goddess of Reason at Notre-Dame cathedral in Paris on 10th November 1793. The engraving, created by Auguste Christian Fleischmann, showcases the dramatic scene that unfolded during this revolutionary period. Intriguingly, the image reveals how the Jacobins, known for their anti-clerical stance, placed an actress on the altar as a symbol of their rejection of traditional religious practices. This act challenged societal norms and highlighted their commitment to reason over faith. The photograph depicts both men and women actively participating in this celebration. Some are seen playing music while others engage in joyful dancing. It is evident that these revolutionaries were fervently idolizing reason itself, personifying it through this grand spectacle. However, amidst all the revelry lies an undercurrent of terror and upheaval. The nationalization of churches led to looting and plundering within Notre-Dame cathedral. This chaotic atmosphere is palpable within the interior captured by Fleischmann's lens. Overall, this print serves as a powerful reminder of a pivotal moment in French history when radical ideas clashed with tradition. It encapsulates not only political change but also reflects society's evolving values during one of its most turbulent periods - truly making it an invaluable piece from Fine Art Finder collection.
