The print, dated between 1790 and 1820, captures the moment of their ascent into the heavens, symbolizing their divine status. At the center of the image, Étienne Montgolfier is depicted sitting serenely on top of a Montgolfier balloon as it ascends into the clouds. He clutches a portrait of his brother Joseph, who played an essential role in the development of the balloon. The ethereal landscape around them is filled with gods and celestial beings, including Neptune, the god of the sea, and Mars, the god of war. The figures below are shown preparing a sacrifice, symbolizing the awe and reverence that the Montgolfier brothers inspired in their contemporaries. The print's title, "Apotheosis of Montgolfier," reflects the exalted status that the brothers had achieved in the eyes of the public.
