She attempts, with a lever, to pry a stone from the ground, a telling metaphor for undermining the foundation of the state edifice. In the poem this foundation is described as the \u201cfirm cornerstone\u201d of the Commonwealth, grounded in Virtue, Liberty, and \u201ctrue civic loyalty.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"815\" data-end=\"1219\">Opposing this destructive force stands an armoured woman with spear and shield.

Only Unity, descending triumphantly from the clouds out of \u201cHeaven\u2019s starry arches\u201d, can destroy the \u201cmurderous rot\u201d and restore peace and abundance.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1495\" data-end=\"1704\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">The print thus functions as a powerful visual pamphlet: discord seeks to pry up the foundations, yet civic loyalty and unity, sanctioned by heaven and fatherland, guarantee the survival of the Batavian state.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p>Price: SOLD<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ALLEGORY OF THE BATAVIAN REPUBLIC: UNITY AND CIVIC LOYALTY AGAINST DISCORD (1795) Copper engraving made by an anonymous artist in 1795.
