EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Frimaire (November/December), third month of the Republican Calendar" transports us back to the late 18th century, a time when art and politics intertwined. Engraved by Tresca around 1794, this coloured engraving showcases the artistic prowess of Louis Lafitte, who masterfully captured the essence of this particular season. Personifying Frimaire as a female figure, we witness her embodiment of autumn and winter. With an archer's bow in hand and a quiver full of arrows on her back, she stands poised for action. The symbolism is clear: she represents Sagittarius, the zodiac sign associated with November and December. Surrounded by snow-covered landscapes, Frimaire commands attention with her regal presence. A loyal hunting hound accompanies her while she blows a horn to announce her arrival. This imagery evokes both power and grace as she navigates through these colder months. As we admire this artwork from Musee de la Ville de Paris, Musee Carnavalet in France, it serves as a reminder that art has always been deeply rooted in history and culture. It allows us to explore different eras through visual storytelling. Let this enchanting print transport you to another time - where mythological figures like Diana come alive amidst snowy landscapes - reminding us that even during harsh winters there is beauty to be found.
