Frédéric Sorrieu, a French artist, created his famous series of paintings and prints titled "The Four Allegories of the Republic" in 1848. These allegorical paintings are best known for their depiction of the idea of universal fraternity and the emergence of democratic and nationalist aspirations in Europe during the 19th century.
The Most Notable Work:
- The series includes the famous painting "The Dream of Worldwide Democratic and Social Republics – The Pact Between Nations" (1848).
- This painting visualizes a utopian vision where people from different nations march in a procession, paying homage to the Statue of Liberty, symbolizing democracy and freedom.
Sorrieu's works are significant as they reflect the political ideologies and aspirations of his time, particularly the revolutions of 1848 and the wave of nationalism across Europe.
