EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from the practice of assistance and miraculous healing in Aubigan. The illustration, taken from Louis Basile Carre de Montgeron's book "La verite des miracles de M. de Paris" showcases the Convulsionaries of the cemetery Saint-Medard, a group of French religious pilgrims known for exhibiting convulsions. In this image, we witness the fervent devotion and intense mysticism that characterized these individuals. Both male and female members of this sect can be seen engaging in acts of faith, seeking cures for their ailments through violent convulsions. The Jansenist movement strongly influenced these practices, which originated on the tomb of Francois de Paris at St Medard during the reign of Louis XV. The engraving offers us a glimpse into a world where religion intertwines with fanaticism. It portrays scenes filled with clergy, priests, imams, and other religious figures who play significant roles in guiding these mystics towards their desired cure. As we observe this historical moment frozen in time through Bridgeman Images' lens, we are reminded not only of human vulnerability but also our unwavering belief in miracles. This print serves as a testament to both the power of faith and the lengths people will go to seek solace or healing within their chosen religion or spiritual practice.
