Le Traite de Paix avec Rome - baisez-ca papa, et faite pâte de velour
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a satirical print depicting the signing of the Treaty of Tolentino between Pope Pius VI and Napoleon I in 1797. The image on the left shows a cat, symbolizing Pope Pius VI, with its claws extended, ready to attack. Napoleon I, represented by a rooster, stands on the right, holding a bundle of dried twigs and urging the cat to retract its claws. The phrase "baisez-ca papa" translates to "kiss that pope," while "faite pâte de velour" means "make velvet out of it." This print captures the political dynamics of the time, as the French Revolution and the subsequent Napoleonic Wars brought significant changes to Europe. Pope Pius VI, who had refused to recognize the French Republic, was eventually forced to sign the treaty, which marked the end of the Papal States' temporal power. The image of a cat and a rooster engaging in a peace treaty is a humorous take on the complex negotiations between the two powerful figures. The print's title, "Le Traite de Paix avec Rome," refers to the peace treaty that was signed between France and the Papal States. The phrase "pâte de velour" is a French idiom that means to make something out of nothing or to turn a situation to one's advantage. The use of the cat and rooster symbols adds a playful and satirical element to the print, making it a fascinating historical artifact that continues to intrigue scholars and art lovers alike. The print dates back to 1797, a pivotal year in European history, and provides a unique perspective on the political landscape of the time. This image is a testament to the power of art to capture historical moments and to offer insight into the complexities of diplomacy and international relations.
