About the piece

Commissioned in 1789, this work by Jean-Jacques-François Le Barbier serves as a powerful symbol of Enlightenment ideals. It depicts the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen as a sacred text, guarded by the allegorical figure of France and an angel representing Reason or Fame, all beneath the radiant Eye of Providence.
