EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "La Severite Romaine" takes us back to 18th century France, specifically the pre-revolutionary era known as the Ancien Régime. The engraving, created by an anonymous French School artist, is a part of Restif de La Bretonne's biographical novel called "La Vie de Mon Pere" (The Life of My Father), published in 1779. The image portrays a scene from the life of a Burgundian peasant, capturing the essence of rural Europe during that time. The honest man depicted in this artwork represents the hardships and brutalities faced by peasants under Roman severity. His weathered face tells tales of struggle and resilience against whip-wielding oppressors. As we gaze upon this nostalgic piece, we are transported to Bordeaux in Gironde, Aquitaine – now part of Nouvelle-Aquitaine region in France. It serves as a reminder of the stark contrast between urban opulence and rural poverty prevalent during that period. Archives Charmet has preserved this historical gem for us to appreciate today through Bridgeman Images' fine art collection. This print not only captures an important moment from European history but also highlights Nicolas Edme Restif's literary contribution to understanding the lives and fortunes of ordinary people like this Burgundian peasant. Let us cherish this glimpse into our past and reflect on how far society has come since then while acknowledging those who endured immense hardship along their journey.
