"The Zenith of French Glory; — The Pinnacle of Liberty. Religion, Justice, Loyalty & all the Bugbears of Unenlightened Minds, Farewell" is a satirical etching and aquatint by the renowned British caricaturist James Gillray, created in 1793. The artwork serves as a biting critique of the radical changes and perceived excesses of the French Revolution, particularly targeting the execution of King Louis XVI. Gillray, known for his sharp wit and intricate artwork, uses this piece to comment on the upheaval in France and its implications for the notions of liberty and justice.

The etching depicts a guillotine at the center, a symbol that had become synonymous with the Reign of Terror, with the blade poised above a decapitated head, likely representing the recently executed French king. Surrounding the guillotine are various objects and figures that symbolize the abandonment of traditional values and institutions, such as religion, justice, and loyalty, in the wake of revolutionary fervor. The title itself is laced with irony, suggesting that the pinnacle of 'liberty' achieved by the revolutionaries is in fact a gruesome and chaotic zenith of French glory.

Gillray's work is characterized by its intricate detail, vivid imagery, and layered meanings, which invite viewers to reflect on the political and social issues of the day. "The Zenith of French Glory" is no exception, offering a complex and critical perspective on the events in France, while also contributing to the broader discourse on the nature of liberty and the potential dangers of radical political change. This piece remains an important example of political satire from the 18th century, providing insight into contemporary reactions to the French Revolution and the enduring power of visual art as a medium for political commentary.
