EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning copper engraving, titled "Calendrier national calculé pour 30 ans et présenté à la Convention nationale le 31 décembre 1792," is a testament to the revolutionary fervor that gripped France during the late 18th century. Created by the skilled hand of Michel Hennin (1777-1863), this masterpiece was presented to the National Convention on December 31, 1792, marking a significant moment in the implementation of the French Revolutionary Calendar. The French Revolutionary Calendar, adopted in September 1793, aimed to replace the traditional Gregorian calendar with a new system based on the agricultural cycles and the principles of the Revolution. Hennin's calendar, which covers a thirty-year span, reflects the neoclassical style popular during the Revolution, with its clean lines, geometric shapes, and emphasis on rationality and order. The image depicts the twelve months of the year, each represented by a god or goddess from Greek and Roman mythology. The months are named after these deities, with the first month, Vendémiaire, taking its name from the Latin word for "grape harvest." The days of the week are also named after the seven planets known at the time. This exquisite work of art is a reminder of the profound impact of the French Revolution on the cultural and historical landscape of Europe and the world. The French Revolutionary Calendar, with its revolutionary ideals and neoclassical aesthetics, continues to fascinate scholars and enthusiasts alike, offering a unique window into the mindset of a revolutionary era.
