EDITORS COMMENTS
The Two Are But One (Les deux ne font qu'un), late 18th century. This intriguing print captures the essence of anthropomorphism in a whimsical and satirical manner. Created by an anonymous artist, it showcases the artistic brilliance of the late 18th century. The image portrays two central figures, King Louis XVI of France and Marie Antoinette, depicted as a hog and a hyena respectively. The use of animals to represent these historical figures adds depth to the caricature-like illustration. It serves as a commentary on their roles during the French Revolution, symbolizing their perceived greed and cunning nature. Hand-colored etching techniques enhance the visual impact of this artwork, with vibrant colors bringing life to every detail. The intricate head dresses worn by both characters showcase the opulence associated with royalty during that era. Displayed in an art gallery or cultural center, this piece invites viewers to reflect upon history through art. It offers insight into how political satire was used as a means for social critique during turbulent times. As we admire this antique masterpiece today, it reminds us of our rich heritage and provides valuable glimpses into centuries past. Its presence serves as a testament to human creativity and its ability to transcend time.
