"Exit Liberté à la François; – or – Buonaparte closing the Farce of Egalité, at St. Cloud near Paris" is a renowned satirical print by James Gillray, a prominent British caricaturist and printmaker of the 18th and early 19th centuries. Created in 1802, this work is a biting commentary on the political developments in France, particularly focusing on Napoleon Bonaparte's rise to power and the consequent erosion of the revolutionary ideals of liberty and equality. Gillray's work is part of a broader tradition of British satirical art that sought to critique political figures and events, often with a sharp wit and intricate visual symbolism.

The print depicts Napoleon Bonaparte, having seized power through a coup d'état, symbolically shutting the doors on the French Revolution's ideals of 'Liberté, égalité, fraternité' (liberty, equality, fraternity). This act is portrayed as the final scene or "farce" of the revolutionary drama, suggesting that the genuine aspirations of the revolution have been betrayed by those who came to power in its aftermath. Gillray's caricature of Bonaparte is both humorous and critical, reflecting British anxieties and skepticism about the stability and intentions of the French government under Napoleon's rule.

"Exit Liberté à la François" is a significant example of Gillray's masterful use of caricature to comment on international politics. His work not only provides insight into British perceptions of the French Revolution and its aftermath but also exemplifies the role of art in political and social critique. The print remains an important piece for scholars studying the history of satirical art, British-French relations at the turn of the 19th century, and the visual culture of political satire.
