EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Mathieu Mole (1584-1656) harangued by the people" captures a pivotal moment in history, engraved by Jean Baptiste Morret in 1792. This colored engraving showcases Mathieu Mole, the first President of the Parlement of Paris, standing resolute amidst a chaotic scene. In this powerful image, Mole stands tall as he faces an angry mob that surrounds him. The artist Jacques Francois Joseph Swebach skillfully portrays the tension and intensity of the situation. It is evident that Mole's refusal to succumb to peer pressure and submit to the demands of the people protesting against de Broussel's detention has made him a symbol of stoicism and bravery. This historical event marked a significant turning point for democracy and freedom of speech. As minister of justice during these turbulent times known as "fronde". Mathieu Mole demonstrated unwavering courage in upholding his principles despite facing immense opposition. The barricades erected around him serve as a visual representation of both physical and ideological barriers that were being challenged during this period. This engraving serves as a testament to Mole's heroism and his commitment to defending parliamentary values.
