Question 1
Quick RecallWhat was Frédéric Sorrieu's vision as depicted in his 1848 print series?
- Sorrieu, a French artist, visualised a world made up of 'democratic and social Republics' in which peoples of Europe and America marched past the Statue of Liberty as distinct nations.
- In his first print, the peoples of the world were grouped by their flags and national costumes, with the United States and Switzerland — already nation-states — leading the procession.
- Christ, saints and angels gazing from the heavens were used by Sorrieu to symbolise fraternity among the nations of the world, making this vision utopian and idealistic.
