EDITORS COMMENTS
Sous la gloire des augustes maisons de nos princes, Minerve (Under the Glory of Our August Princes, Minerva, Protectress of France, Contemplates the Third Estate, Represented by a Peasant Plowing) is an evocative and symbolic print from the tumultuous year of 1789. Minerva, the Roman goddess of wisdom, war, and strategic counsel, is depicted standing proudly on the top level of a tiered checkerboard, gazing heavenward. She holds a pike with a banner and a shield bearing the likeness of Medusa, symbolizing the power of fear and the need for protection. Beneath Minerva, in a pastoral setting, a member of the Third Estate is shown plowing a field with his oxen. Behind him, extending upward from his waist, are sheaves of abundance, symbolizing the fruits of labor and the potential for prosperity. The Estates General, represented by various figures, including members of the clergy, soldiers, and lawyers, are also present, supporting the Third Estate and signifying the interconnectedness of the three estates. The sun, radiant and resplendent, drives away the dark clouds crowding the sky, symbolizing the hope for a bright future. The fleur-de-lis, a symbol of the French monarchy, are borne by stars and bubbles, emphasizing the connection between the monarchy and the people. This powerful image, created in 1789, reflects the complex and nuanced political climate of the time, as the French Revolution began to take shape and the balance of power shifted. The print serves as a reminder of the importance of wisdom, labor, and unity in the face of adversity, and the potential for transformation and renewal.
