The vibrancy of Mr. Franklin in this setting of the French court representing the American cause comes to life in Mr. Winborg’s painting. This was a much needed miracle, for without the French assistance the cause had no reliable source of powder, ball and military supply. Only Franklin’s inspiration and genius could have accomplished this mission by first the winning of the hearts of the French people and second the diplomatic recognition and support of the American cause. The state of the French people is also accurately portrayed and felt. Sadly, in a few short years the French nation would also turn to revolution but without turning to God. The results were horrible beyond description. The “godless revolution” to overthrow existing condition continues on today as does the revolution towards God. The wisdom of Mr. Franklin steers us toward the latter.
