EDITORS COMMENTS
The caricature of Baron Pasquier as the Saviour of France, created in 1830 by Fortune Delarue, is a vibrant and humorous representation of this influential French politician. In this colour lithograph print, we see Pasquier depicted in an exaggerated manner, capturing his larger-than-life personality. Baron Etienne-Denis Pasquier (1767-1862) was a prominent figure during the turbulent times of early 19th-century France. Created Baron by Napoleon Bonaparte himself in 1808 and later awarded the title of duke by King Louis-Philippe in 1844, Pasquier held various high-ranking positions throughout his career. In this satirical artwork, Pasquier is portrayed as a survivor amidst political chaos. His comically oversized head and expressive facial features add to the overall humor and charm of the piece. The artist's use of vivid colors enhances the liveliness and energy surrounding Pasquier's character. This caricature serves as both entertainment and social commentary on French politics at that time. It showcases how satire can be used to highlight certain traits or actions while providing amusement for viewers. Displayed at Musee de la Ville de Paris, Musee Carnavalet in Paris, France, this print captures an important moment in history through artistic expression. It reminds us that even during challenging times, laughter can serve as a powerful tool for reflection and understanding.
