Explain this painting.
Answers
Answer:
Frédéric Sorrieu (17 January 1807 - 26 September 1887) was a French engraver, printmaker and draughtsman. He was notable for his works testifying the liberal and nationalist revolutions in France and in Europe. One of his works, La République universelle démocratique et sociale (the universal democratic and social republic), was a series of four prints envisioning his dream of a world made up of 'democratic and social republics'. This is one of those paintings, Le Pacte. It illustrates the nationalist dimension of the spring of the people: a procession of European nations (in which people of all genders, ages and social classes mingle) marches past a tree of freedom, then a statue of the allegory of the Republic. Nations are identifiable by their flags (French, German, Italian, Hungarian, Czech) and their traditional costumes. The decay of monarchs is symbolized by a soil littered with royal attributes. From the heavens above, Christ, saints and angels gaze upon the scene. They have been used by the artist to symbolise fraternity among the nations of the world.
