Allegory on the Right of Citizenship
1750
From the collection of Statens Museum for Kunst
Allegory on the Right of Citizenship is a 1750 by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This photo shows a pig lying under a dark, tent-like fabric. Its body is relaxed, with its head resting on its front legs. The background is plain and light-colored, making the pig and the fabric stand out. The text at the bottom reads *"Ius Indigenatus"*, which is Latin for "right of citizenship." This suggests the image might be making a statement about belonging or rights. Next, look up chiaroscuro to see how artists use light and shadow for dramatic effect.
