EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the haunting sculpture known as "Flayed, or The Skeleton (stone)" by Ligier Richier. Located in the Eglise de St. Etienne in Bar-Le-Duc, France, this Renaissance masterpiece stands as a solemn tribute to Rene de Chalon, prince d Orange. The statue depicts a decomposing corpse with its skin flayed and bones exposed, creating a macabre yet striking image. Holding its own heart in hand, the figure symbolizes both heroism and martyrdom. It serves as a poignant reminder of Rene de Chalon's tragic fate at the young age of 25 during the siege of St. Dizier in 1544. The dramatic composition evokes strong emotions through its detailed craftsmanship and realistic portrayal of death's inevitable decay. Ligier Richier's skillful execution brings life to this stone sculpture that seems paradoxically alive and lifeless simultaneously. As we gaze upon this artwork captured by Clement Guillaume's lens, we are transported back to an era where art sought not only beauty but also conveyed deeper meanings and messages. This photograph allows us to appreciate the intricate details and symbolism embedded within every crevice of this remarkable piece. In preserving this moment for eternity through his lens, Clement Guillaume invites us to reflect on mortality while marveling at the artistic genius behind "Flayed. "
