1795 Angry Brotherhood Busts Cartoon Farmer Happy Looking Mayor Minister Soldier Wreath Brotherly Love Equality Fraternity Shipwright
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Cartoon on equality and brotherhood, 1795" takes us back to a significant era in history. Created by the talented print maker Hermanus Fock, this artwork beautifully captures the essence of brotherly love and equality during a time when these values were being fiercely debated. The image showcases an array of busts representing different societal roles and political affiliations. Among them, we see an orangist man wielding an ax, symbolizing resistance to change. On the other hand, a shipwright, farmer, and republiekeinse soldier stand together with happy expressions, embodying unity and progress. A central figure wearing a wreath made of oak leaves commands attention as they gaze sternly into the distance. This gloomy-looking individual represents those who oppose the ideals of equality and fraternity. Intriguingly enough, even figures like the mayor and minister are depicted without their traditional wigs—a subtle reminder that true equality transcends social status or titles. Quint Lox's skillful capture allows us to delve into this historical moment where conflicting ideologies clashed against each other. It reminds us that despite our differences or opposing beliefs, it is essential to strive for unity in order to build a society based on fairness and mutual respect
