In the turmoil of the 19th century, more precisely in Paris of 1807, the world welcomed a new star in the sky of art: Frédéric Sorrieu, whose path of destiny traversed the turmoil of the society of the time and left a deep impression on the art world. He carried not only the painter's brush but also the prophet's pen, immortalizing the spirit of a worldwide republic in his works. His vision of a "democratic and social world republic" depicted in his gouache lithographs was influenced by the revolutionary upheavals of 1848/49.
One of Sorrieu's most famous works is "Le Pacte" (The Contract). The lithograph shows a colorful procession of people from different nations, connected by a rope and identifiable by the symbols of their monarchies. In the foreground, in front of a stone monument symbolizing the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen, lie the broken crowns, escutcheons and heraldic eagles of the ancient monarchies. Christ, accompanied by angels, hovers above the scene in a celestial sphere, illuminated by a gloriole bearing the word "Fraternité" (brotherhood). It is an allegory of the casting off of the old regime and the transition to the Republic, a vision brought to life by Sorrieu's vivid colors and vivid details.
Sorrieu's lithographs are more than mere art prints; they are testaments to a turbulent time when people broke their shackles and yearned for a new age of freedom and equality. And they are still of great significance today, as living representations of an artistic quest for change and an undying vision of equality. Although we are now in a time far removed from Sorrieu's, there are still those who walk in the footsteps of the old masters, reproducing their art in the form of art prints to make it accessible to a new generation. In this way, they keep the flame of freedom burning and revive the visions of artists like Sorrieu. These finely crafted art prints serve as a window in time that allows us to feel the emotions, hopes and dreams of those distant days.
