Lodewijk Filips I als moordenaar van de vrijheid 1834

This 1834 print by A. Casati depicts a satirical take on the political climate of the time. "Lodewijk Filips I als moordenaar van de vrijheid" translates to "Louis Philippe I as the murderer of freedom," portraying the king as a wolf pursuing the personified concept of freedom who is collapsing on the ground. The artwork uses symbolism and caricature to convey its message, making it a potent piece of political commentary from the early 19th century. The print is a powerful example of the use of art to critique authority and champion freedom, even in a time when such expression could be dangerous.
