The Bishop of A Tuns Breeches; - The Flaming Eveque purifying the House of Office! To the Patriots of France and England, this representation of the Burning Zeal of the holy Attaceh a la Mission, and his Colleague: Envoie des Poissardes, is most respectfully dedicated, pub. 1792 (hand coloured engraving) by Gillray, James (1757-1815); Private Collection; (add. info. : Bernard-Francois Marquis d Chauvelin (1766 - 1832), a young nobleman with revolutionary sympathies, was chosen as a figurehead for his charm and total lack of diplomatic experience; Charles Maurice de Talleyrand-Perigord (1754 - 1838); ); The Stapleton Collection; English, out of copyright) This print captures an intriguing moment in history when political satire met artistic expression. Created by renowned artist James Gillray in 1792, it depicts two prominent figures from France and England engaging in a symbolic ritual. Bernard-Francois Marquis d Chauvelin represents burning zeal as he stands alongside his colleague Charles Maurice de Talleyrand-Perigord. Dressed in flamboyant robes adorned with revolutionary symbols like bonnet rouge and liberty cap, they hold torches to cleanse what appears to be a house of office. The image is filled with rich details that convey both humor and political commentary. From fishwives wielding weapons to demons lurking in the shadows, each element adds depth to this satirical portrayal. Gillray's masterful use of hand-colored engraving brings life to every character and prop within the scene. It serves as a reminder that art can be used as propaganda during times of revolution. As we gaze upon this historic print today, we are transported back to an era where diplomacy mingled with chaos. It is a testament to the power of art in capturing and immortalizing significant moments
