Painting Description
"Mathieu Molé (1584–1656) Harangued by the People, Engraved by Jean Baptiste Morret (fl. 1790–1820), 1792" is a historical engraving by French artist Jean Baptiste Morret, after a painting by Jacques François Joseph Swebach. The work depicts a significant event in the life of Mathieu Molé, a prominent French statesman and the first president of the Parlement of Paris during the reign of King Louis XIII. The scene captures the moment when Molé, known for his steadfastness and diplomatic skills, was confronted by a crowd of agitated Parisians during the Fronde, a series of civil wars in France between 1648 and 1653. The Fronde was characterized by widespread civil unrest and was a reaction against the increasing power of the monarchy and the policies of Cardinal Mazarin.
The engraving by Morret, active in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, is based on the original painting by Swebach, an artist known for his historical and military scenes. The artwork reflects the tumultuous atmosphere of the period, with Molé standing resolute as he addresses the crowd. The composition effectively conveys the tension between the state authority represented by Molé and the popular discontent of the Parisian populace.
Jean Baptiste Morret's engraving is a testament to the enduring fascination with the Fronde and its impact on the political landscape of France. It serves as a visual documentation of the historical event, allowing contemporary audiences to engage with the past through the medium of printmaking. The work is an example of the collaboration between painters and engravers in the 18th century, which played a crucial role in disseminating images of historical significance to a broader public.
As an important piece of historical art, "Mathieu Molé (1584–1656) Harangued by the People, Engraved by Jean Baptiste Morret (fl. 1790–1820), 1792" offers insight into the political turmoil of 17th-century France and the role of art in capturing and interpreting the events of the time.
