EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a powerful allegorical scene titled "Allegory Constitution Dutch Virgin seated throne". In the center, we see the majestic figure of the Dutch Virgin seated on a grand throne, holding a stick with a hat of liberty in her hand. With determination and authority, she points towards a chained figure in the foreground representing the rejected Constitution. Flanking the Dutch Virgin are two significant figures. On one side stands a woman holding a palm branch symbolizing peace and victory, while on the other side stands Justice herself, personified as a female figure holding a column. Together with another woman representing the new Constitution, they signify abstract ideas and concepts coming to life through their actions. This intricate engraving by Pieter Hendrik Jonxis showcases not only his artistic talent but also his deep understanding of symbolism. The composition highlights key themes such as justice, divine righteousness (Giustitia divina), and cardinal virtues. The city or town patron is subtly represented in this variant interpretation of an allegorical scene that was popular during its time. Created between 1772 and 1843 in Utrecht, this paper engraving measures approximately 114 mm by 113 mm. This artwork from Liszt Collection offers viewers an opportunity to delve into historical narratives surrounding constitutionalism and governance while appreciating Jonxis' skillful craftsmanship.
