EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Les Dragonnades (1681-1685): dispersal of a Protestant family by the troops of dragons charged with converting Protestants" depicts a powerful historical moment during the reign of Louis XIV, also known as "Le Roy Soleil". Created by Gustave Toutwelve and illustrated by Maurice Leloir in 1904, this chromotypography captures the turmoil faced by a Protestant family as they are forcibly separated and expelled from their home. The image portrays the violence and religious persecution that plagued France during this period. The soldiers, known as dragons, were tasked with converting Protestants to Catholicism through intimidation and force. In this scene, we witness the heart-wrenching separation of loved ones - a mother desperately clings to her child while being torn away from her husband. The use of color adds depth to the illustration, highlighting both the anguish on their faces and the vibrant history behind this event. It serves as a reminder of how religion has shaped societies throughout time. This artwork is part of a private collection and showcases not only artistic talent but also sheds light on an important chapter in French history. It invites viewers to reflect upon themes such as religious freedom, human rights, and resilience in times of adversity.
