EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures a significant moment in history - the signing of the Concordat between France and the Holy See on July 15th, 1801. The image showcases the solemnity and importance of this event, which marked the re-establishment of the Catholic Church in France. In the foreground, we see Cardinal Ercole Consalvi seated at a table, representing the Holy See. Standing beside him are Joseph Bonaparte and Napoleon Bonaparte, who played crucial roles in negotiating this agreement. Their presence symbolizes both political power and religious faith coming together for a common purpose. The composition highlights the unity between church and state as various clergy members surround them. The figures exude an air of renewal and hope as they engage in this historic act of signing documents that would shape French Catholicism for years to come. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke, capturing not only facial expressions but also intricate details such as penmanship and clothing styles of that era. This print serves as a testament to Gerard's artistic skill while providing us with a glimpse into an important chapter in European history. Displayed proudly at Bibliothèque Paul-Marmottan, Ville de Boulogne-Billancourt, Académie des Beaux-Arts in France, this lithograph continues to inspire awe and admiration for its historical significance and artistic excellence.
