EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print commemorates the end of the Vendean Wars, a pivotal moment in the French Revolution. The Vendean Wars, also known as the War in the Vendée, began in 1793 as a rebellion against the revolutionary government's efforts to enforce the Civil Constitution of the Clergy, which mandated the secularization of churches and the forced drafting of clergy into the military. The rebellion quickly spread, drawing support from the Catholic population and monarchist sympathizers. The conflict raged for over a year, with the Republican forces, led by General Hoche, facing a formidable enemy in the Vendean army. After two previous treaties failed, Hoche made a final push towards the heart of Vendée, culminating in the signing of the Treaty of Chartres on April 20, 1795. In this print, General Hoche is depicted signing the treaty with representatives of Brittany, symbolizing the official end of the Vendean insurrection. The event marked a significant victory for the revolutionary forces and helped to restore order in western France. The print's intricate details and dramatic composition serve to underscore the historical significance of this pivotal moment in French history.
