EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a traditional French carnival procession known as "Le cortege du boeuf gras" or "The Carnival". The image, taken by Stefano Bianchetti, showcases a moment in time from the 19th century when this lively event was celebrated with great enthusiasm. In this scene, we see participants dressed in elaborate costumes representing various characters and professions. Among them is a butcher carrying an animal carcass, symbolizing the central figure of the celebration - the fattened beef. This custom harks back to ancient traditions where livestock were paraded through town before being consumed during festive occasions. The atmosphere depicted here is one of joyous revelry and merriment. The streets are filled with people dancing, singing, and enjoying themselves as they partake in this cherished French tradition. It's clear that everyone has embraced the spirit of disguise and festivity that defines carnival celebrations worldwide. This print serves as a glimpse into France's cultural heritage, showcasing how customs have evolved over time while still maintaining their unique charm. It invites us to reflect on our own traditions and reminds us of the importance of preserving our cultural identity for future generations to enjoy.
