EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an extraordinary organigramme, revealing the intricate organization of government in France during the 16th century. Created by Charles de Figon, a prominent figure in French governance and secretary to Catherine de Bourbon, this woodcut masterpiece served as the frontispiece for his renowned treatise on the structure of French governance. Published in 1579 under the title "Discours des Etats et offices tant du Gouvernement que de la Justice et des Finances de France" this groundbreaking work provided a comprehensive overview of the French system of government. The organigramme depicted within this print is commonly referred to as "Arbre des Etats et Offices de France" or Tree of States and Offices of France. Rediscovered by eminent French historian Emanuel le Roy Ladurie in the 20th century, this remarkable piece offers invaluable insights into how power was distributed among various institutions and advisers during that era. From parliament to council, exchequer to finance, every aspect is meticulously illustrated within this flowchart-like diagram. Not only does it provide a visual representation of governmental hierarchy but also highlights key branches such as Chambre des Comptes (Court of Accounts) and Conseil (Council). This historic artifact serves as a testament to both artistic excellence and political significance. As we gaze upon this awe-inspiring image from Fine Art Finder's collection courtesy Bridgeman Images, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand how these complex systems shaped one of history's most influential nations - France.
