1780 Academie Altered Hopes Hypnosis Ignore Interest Mesmer Sciences Paranormal

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historical moment when Franz Mesmer, a pioneer in the field of hypnosis and mesmerism, attempts to interest the prestigious French Academie des Sciences in his groundbreaking work. In 1780, Mesmer hopes to impress the members of the Academie with his revolutionary theories on altered states of consciousness and paranormal phenomena. However, despite his best efforts, Mesmer is met with indifference and ignorance from the esteemed members of the Academie. The image perfectly conveys Mesmer's disappointment as he realizes that his work is being disregarded by those who hold power and influence in the scientific community. The tension between Mesmer and the Academie is palpable in this striking photograph, as it highlights not only a pivotal moment in history but also sheds light on how new ideas are often met with skepticism and resistance. Through this powerful image from Mary Evans Picture Library, viewers are transported back to a time when innovation clashed with tradition, shedding light on an important chapter in French scientific history.
