EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a little dinner scene from the 18th century, featuring the remarkable French woman of letters and revolutionary, Olympe de Gouges (1748-1793). In this intimate gathering, she is seen engaged in conversation with her friend Celine. The artist behind this masterpiece remains unknown but has beautifully depicted the essence of domesticity and intellectual exchange. Olympe de Gouges was not only known for her literary prowess but also for her unwavering commitment to advocating for women's rights during a time when their voices were often silenced. This image provides a rare glimpse into her personal life, showcasing her as both an influential figure and an ordinary individual enjoying a meal among friends. The simplicity of the setting adds to its charm - a modest table adorned with dishes that symbolize sustenance and camaraderie. It is evident that this little dinner holds great significance beyond just nourishment; it represents unity, shared ideas, and perhaps even plans for societal change. As we delve into history through this engraving by Stefano Bianchetti, we are reminded of Olympe de Gouges' indomitable spirit that continues to inspire generations today. Her legacy lives on through her written works and activism which have paved the way for progress in gender equality.
