Allegorie op het vaderland 1794 - 1795

"Allegorie op het vaderland" is a black and white engraving by L. Pithoud created between 1794 and 1795. The engraving depicts a scene of allegorical figures representing the concept of "Fatherland," likely referencing the French Revolution and the ideals of freedom and unity. The central figure, likely symbolizing the nation, is seated on a throne and receiving offerings from surrounding figures, suggesting the sacrifices and contributions made for the greater good. The use of classical Roman and Greek imagery emphasizes the historical context of the revolution and the revival of classical ideals. The engraving's small dimensions suggest it was intended as a personal or commemorative print, aimed at spreading the revolutionary message amongst the citizens.
