EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Blessing The Sea" we are transported back to the picturesque Pollet on the Normandy coast in France, circa 1825. The vibrant colors of the image bring to life a heartwarming scene filled with girls, boys, women, and men gathered together under the bright sunlit sky. At the center of it all stands a devoted priest, his presence commanding reverence and respect. As he raises his hands towards the vast expanse of sea stretching out before him, one can almost feel the collective anticipation and hope emanating from those surrounding him. This is a momentous occasion for these devout Catholics who have come together to witness this sacred act of blessing. The atmosphere is charged with faith as prayers are whispered fervently by young and old alike. It is a day that holds great significance for everyone present - an opportunity to seek divine protection and guidance from above. Jules Gaildrau's masterful drawing and engraving skills have beautifully captured this fleeting moment in time. Through his artistry, we are able to glimpse into a world where spirituality intertwines seamlessly with nature's grandeur. This remarkable print serves as a testament not only to French coastal beauty but also to the enduring power of belief that transcends time itself.
