EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting and historical print captures a pivotal moment in the infamous case of possession at the convent of Saint-Ursule in Loudun. Soeur Claire, also known as Claire de Sazilly, one of the afflicted nuns, is seen here being exorcised in the presence of the duc d'Orleans on 20 June 1633.
The image depicts Soeur Claire in an altered state, clearly suffering from the effects of possession. The intense atmosphere is palpable as she undergoes the exorcism ritual with the hope of freeing her from whatever dark forces have taken hold of her.
The duc d'Orleans stands solemnly by, his presence adding a sense of gravity to this supernatural event. It is a chilling reminder of a time when beliefs in witchcraft and demonic influence held sway over society.
This print serves as a powerful testament to a chapter in history where faith and superstition collided with tragic consequences. It is a stark reminder of how easily fear and hysteria can lead to mass delusion and persecution.
Mary Evans Picture Library has preserved this important piece of history for future generations to reflect upon and learn from. It serves as both a cautionary tale and a fascinating glimpse into humanity's enduring fascination with the unknown.
