EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Republican Divorce" captures a historic moment in French history, symbolizing the revolutionary commitment to individual rights. Created by Jean Baptiste Mallet, this pen and ink artwork showcases the dissolution of a marriage under the new law instituted on September 20th, 1792. Measuring at 24.5x32.5 cm, this piece is housed in the Musee de la Ville de Paris, Musee Carnavalet in Paris, France. The image depicts a couple standing before a court or town hall as they sign the divorce register, marking an end to their union. During the 18th and 19th centuries, divorce was not readily available for couples seeking separation. However, with the introduction of this groundbreaking legislation during the French Revolution era, individuals gained newfound freedom from unhappy marriages. Mallet's meticulous use of grisaille technique adds depth and texture to this thought-provoking artwork. It serves as a visual reminder of how societal norms can evolve over time and highlights society's recognition of personal autonomy within relationships. This print offers viewers an opportunity to reflect on historical milestones that have shaped modern notions of love and marriage. As we observe this poignant scene unfold before us through Mallet's skilled handiwork, we are reminded that even in times past when change seemed impossible or unconventional ideas were met with resistance – progress prevailed.
