"The Zenith of French Glory; The Pinnacle of Liberty" is a renowned satirical print by the British caricaturist James Gillray, created in 1793. This work is a critical commentary on the radical developments of the French Revolution, particularly targeting the execution of King Louis XVI. Gillray, known for his sharp wit and intricate artwork, uses this piece to depict the perceived extremities of revolutionary France's new-found 'liberty' - a liberty that, in his view, culminates in the chaos and violence of the guillotine.

The print showcases a guillotine placed at the center, symbolizing the Reign of Terror, with a sun labeled "La Liberte" or "Liberty" in the background, ironically shining over a scene of death. The title itself, "The Zenith of French Glory; The Pinnacle of Liberty," is laced with sarcasm, suggesting that the ultimate achievement of the French Revolution, in Gillray's perspective, was the widespread use of the guillotine for execution. This artwork serves as a poignant critique of the revolution's descent into violence, reflecting the fears and criticisms of many observers outside France, particularly in Britain, where the revolution was often viewed with a mix of fascination and horror.

James Gillray, active during the late 18th and early 19th centuries, was one of the foremost political satirists of his time. His works frequently commented on political events, figures, and societal changes, employing humor and exaggeration to provoke thought and discussion. "The Zenith of French Glory; The Pinnacle of Liberty" stands as a testament to Gillray's mastery of satire and his ability to encapsulate complex political sentiments in a single, powerful image. Through this print, Gillray not only critiques the French Revolution but also contributes to the broader discourse on the nature of liberty, governance, and the potential perils of radical political change.
