EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving takes us back to the dark and scandalous era of the Affair of the Poisons in 17th century France. The central figure, Madame de Brinvilliers, also known as Marie Madeleine d'Aubray, Marquise de Brinvilliers, is depicted amending her honorable status on the court steps of Notre-Dame. The artist Boulanger skillfully captures Madame de Brinvilliers' remorseful expression, hinting at the weight of her actions. Her story unfolds like a gripping novel - a woman caught up in a web of deceit and poisonings that shocked Parisian society. This print transports us to a time when whispers of secret affairs and deadly concoctions filled every corner. The intricate details in this 19th-century engraving bring history alive before our eyes. From Madame de Brinvilliers' elegant attire to the architectural grandeur of Notre-Dame, every element adds depth to this visual narrative. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded that even those who seemingly possess honor can be entangled in darkness. It serves as a poignant reminder that power and ambition can lead down treacherous paths if left unchecked. This photograph print from Fine Art Finder by Leonard de Selva allows us to delve into an intriguing chapter of history where secrets were whispered behind closed doors and poisons lurked within innocent-looking vials. It invites us to reflect on human nature's capacity for both good and evil
