EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, captured by an anonymous artist and featured in "Le Petit Journal Illustre" on January 13th, 1929, tells a haunting story of despair and the struggle for salvation. The scene unfolds within the walls of a hospital where a neurasthenic patient teeters on the edge of life and death. In this gripping moment frozen in time, we witness the desperation etched upon the face of the tormented individual as they attempt to end their suffering by hurling themselves out of a hospital window. However, standing between them and their tragic fate is a determined nun from the religious order who valiantly tries to prevent their fall. The intensity conveyed through this powerful image evokes deep emotions - fear for both characters involved, anxiety over what may come next, and hope that somehow this desperate act can be thwarted. It serves as a stark reminder of how mental health struggles can push individuals to such extreme measures. Stefano Bianchetti's print beautifully captures not only the physical aspects but also delves into themes surrounding human fragility, faith, and compassion. This historical piece transports us back to early 20th century France when mental health was often misunderstood or stigmatized. As we gaze upon this thought-provoking artwork today, it prompts us to reflect on our own understanding of mental well-being while appreciating those who dedicate themselves to helping others find solace amidst their darkest moments.
