EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating engraving titled "Le Pilori" takes us back to 19th century France, offering a glimpse into the country's rich history. This print, part of a private collection, showcases the talent of the French School during this era. Created as an illustration for "Histoire de France en Cent Tableaux" by Paul Lehugeur in 1880, this artwork captures a significant moment in time. The pilori, or pillory, was used as a form of punishment during medieval times. It served as a public display where wrongdoers were humiliated and subjected to ridicule. The artist skillfully depicts this historical scene with intricate details that transport us back to an era long gone. We can almost feel the weight of history within the lines and strokes of the engraver's hand. As we study this piece further, we are reminded of Louis XV and his Bourbon dynasty who ruled over France during that period. Their influence is evident in every aspect of society at that time. This print serves not only as a visual representation but also as a gateway into understanding European history and its impact on modern-day Europe. Through art like this engraving, we can explore different facets of our past while appreciating the artistic mastery behind it. Bridgeman Images has once again provided us with an exceptional piece from their extensive collection – one that sparks curiosity and invites us to delve deeper into our shared heritage.
