EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the cover of "Le Grelot" number 1078, Satirique en Couleurs, dating back to 1891. The artwork titled "Le chemin de la croix" depicts a satirical scene filled with elements of anticlericalism and religion. Created by Edouard Guillaumin (Pepin), this illustration captures the essence of French society during that time. The image features a procession led by clergy members, including bishops and parishioners disguised in various costumes. A chariot adorned with religious symbols carries a cross while musicians play instruments such as drums, trombones, and tambourines. The artist's attention to detail is evident in his portrayal of cupidite/avarice (greed) intertwined within the religious order. Through clever caricatures and playful imagery, Guillaumin highlights societal issues prevalent during the late 19th century in France. This satirical drawing provides insight into the political climate and challenges faced by both clergy members and society at large. Preserved through time, this historical artifact offers viewers an opportunity to delve into the past and explore themes of religion, satire, carnival games, journalism, and European culture. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded of how art can serve as a powerful tool for social commentary throughout history.
