EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the chapel of the Toulon bagne in the 19th century, as depicted in an engraving from Pierre Zaccone's renowned book "Histoire des bagnes depuis leur creation A nos jours" (1877). The image offers a glimpse into the solemnity and spirituality that permeated this penal colony, known as Colonia Penale. The chapel stands tall amidst a backdrop of incarceration, symbolizing hope and redemption for those imprisoned within its walls. It serves as a sanctuary for both Christian prisoners seeking solace and clergy members dedicated to guiding them on their spiritual journey. Intricate details captured by Stefano Bianchetti bring to life the essence of this religious space - from flickering candlelight illuminating pews filled with believers deep in prayer, to the resolute figure of a goalkeeper standing watch over his fellow inmates. This engraving not only portrays faith but also highlights the resilience and humanity present even in such challenging circumstances. Located in Toulon, France along the picturesque Provence Riviera, this historical site holds significance not only for its architectural beauty but also for its role in shaping French history. As we gaze upon this powerful image, we are reminded of the enduring power of religion and ritual to provide comfort and strength even amidst adversity.
