EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Life of Francois de Paris" takes us back to 18th century France, capturing the essence of a remarkable man. François de Paris, a Jansenist deacon from Paris, led a life filled with piety and devotion. The engraving showcases his penitence and religious fervor through an intimate portrayal. In this image, we see François lying on the ground in prayer, dressed in humble robes that reflect his commitment to poverty and asceticism. His hands are clasped tightly around a crucifix while holding a whip—a symbol of self-flagellation as an act of atonement. The photograph beautifully captures the intensity of François' suffering and dedication to his faith. It is said that his tomb at the parish cemetery Saint-Medard became a pilgrimage site for many believers, giving rise to the Convulsionaries phenomenon. As we gaze upon this powerful image, we are reminded of the zealotry and deep spirituality that defined François' life. His unwavering commitment to God's service shines through every detail captured by Bridgeman Images. This print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical documentation of religious practices during that era. It invites us to contemplate our own beliefs and ponder the lengths one may go for their faith.
