Baron de Stassart geinstalleerd als grootmeester van de vrijmetselaarsloge "Grand Orient" 1835

This bronze medal, created by Jean-Baptiste Clément Jouvenel, captures a moment of Masonic importance. The medal’s circular form, with its contrasting imagery on either side, invites a structural reading. One face features an eagle emerging from a landscape under radiant light, symbolizing enlightenment. The obverse presents a square inscribed with text under the all-seeing eye, a core Masonic symbol. The medal plays with light and shadow, a simple formal technique that enhances its symbolic weight. Structurally, the medal uses classical symbols arranged in a deliberate composition. The choice of bronze lends the piece a sense of historical weight, while the circular format unifies its disparate elements. The medal thus becomes a microcosm of Masonic ideals: enlightenment, order, and timeless wisdom.
