Question

What was the theme of the printing of frederic sorrieu

Answer 1

The theme of the printing was envisioning democracy and fraternity amongst all people of the world.

• Frederic Sorrieu was a French engraver, printmaker, and draughtsman during the French Revolution period. He is famous for a series of four prints prepared in 1848 that envisioned the dream of a world consisting of 'Democratic and Social Republics'. It is named 'La République universelle démocratique et sociale'.
• The first print of the painting shows the people of Europe and America - men and women of all ages and social classes – marching in a long train, and offering homage to the Statue of Liberty as they pass by it.
• Liberty is personified as a female figure where Enlightenment she bears in one hand (the torch) and the Charter of the Rights of Man in the other. On the earth in the foreground of the image lie the shattered remains of the symbols of absolutist institutions.
• Frederic Sorrieu always visualized a world made up of democratic and socialist republics. He wishes to portray, through these paintings, a world where all countries respect the statue of liberty or, in other terms, where all countries promote the Charter of the Rights of Man and Fraternity.
