Encyclopedie frontispice
Artist	Charles-Nicolas Cochin
Title	Encyclopedie frontispice title QS:P1476,en:"Encyclopedie frontispice" label QS:Len,"Encyclopedie frontispice"
Description	Extract from the frontispiece of the Encyclopédie (1772). It was drawn by Charles-Nicolas Cochin and engraved by Bonaventure-Louis Prévost. The work is laden with symbolism: The figure in the centre represents truth—surrounded by bright light (the central symbol of the Enlightenment). Two other figures on the right, reason and philosophy, are tearing the veil from truth.
