EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history that intertwines love, tragedy, and the pursuit of knowledge. Marion Delorme, also known as Marie de Lon, Lady of Lorme (1611-1650), and Edward Somerset, Marquis of Worcester (1601-1667), are depicted in 1641 at the hospital in Bicetre. Behind bars in the courtyard of fools stands Solomon de Caux (1576-1626). This engraving is part of "Sciences put at the graving of all - popular physics and chemistry" by Alexis Clerc from the late 19th century. Marion Delorme and Edward Somerset's presence at this peculiar location suggests their curiosity for unconventional wisdom. As they gaze upon Solomon de Caux behind those bars, one can only wonder what thoughts raced through their minds. Were they drawn to his intellect or perhaps captivated by his madness? The juxtaposition between these three figures sparks intrigue and invites us to delve into their stories. Marion Delorme was a renowned courtesan who lived during a time when women were expected to conform to societal norms. Her relationship with Edward Somerset adds an element of forbidden romance to this narrative. Meanwhile, Solomon de Caux's brilliance as an inventor and engineer contrasts sharply with his unfortunate fate within the walls of Bicetre. In this single image lies a tale rich with complexity – love entangled with intellectual pursuits amidst confinement and societal expectations. It serves as a reminder that even behind bars, great minds continue to seek knowledge and challenge conventional boundaries.
