EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century print, titled "Marquise de Brinvilliers poisoning the patients of the Hotel Dieu in Paris" transports us to a dark and sinister chapter in French history. The unknown artist skillfully captures the chilling scene as it unfolds within the walls of this renowned hospital. In vivid colors, we see a woman, identified as Marquise de Brinvilliers, engaging in her malevolent act of poisoning unsuspecting patients. Her face remains hidden, adding an air of mystery and intrigue to her nefarious deeds. The engraving exudes an eerie atmosphere that sends shivers down our spines. The Hotel Dieu in Paris serves as both a backdrop and a symbol of vulnerability. Patients lie helplessly on their beds while being subjected to this heinous crime against humanity.
