1789 Branches Cutting Friar Hand Colored Horns Member Wooden Third Estate
EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print from 1789, titled "Print shows a member of the Third Estate, possibly a woman, kneeling on top of a fallen friar, cutting wooden branches or horns from his head" offers an intriguing glimpse into history. The etching has been meticulously hand-colored, adding depth and vibrancy to the scene. In this thought-provoking image, we witness a dramatic confrontation between two figures that symbolize different aspects of society. A member of the Third Estate stands triumphantly atop a fallen friar while skillfully removing wooden branches or horns from his head. The identity of this figure remains ambiguous; some speculate it may be a courageous woman challenging established authority. The composition exudes tension and rebellion against traditional power structures prevalent during that era. It serves as a visual representation of societal upheaval and the struggle for change during the French Revolution. This print invites us to reflect on themes such as social inequality, resistance against oppression, and the quest for justice. With its retro-styled aesthetic and historical significance, this artwork transports us back in time to an era filled with fervor for transformation. Preserved within the Liszt Collection's archives, it reminds us how art can capture pivotal moments in our collective past while igniting conversations about our present realities.
