EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print captures a dramatic moment during the infamous trial of the Case of the Collar in 1785-1786. Before the Parliament of Paris, Jeanne de Valois-Saint-Remy, also known as Comtesse de La Motte or Comtesse de La Motte Valois, unleashes her fury by launching a candlestick at Giuseppe Balsamo's head. Balsamo, better known as Alexandre, Count of Cagliostro, was embroiled in this scandalous affair that shook French society. In this engraving from the 19th century featured in Jules Michelet's "Histoire de France" (1870), we witness the intensity and tension within the courtroom. The artist remains unknown but skillfully captures both Jeanne and Balsamo frozen in time amidst chaos. The sheer force with which Jeanne hurls the candlestick reveals her desperation to prove her innocence or perhaps seek revenge against her accuser. This image encapsulates not only a pivotal moment during one of history's most sensational trials but also reflects broader themes such as power struggles and deceit within aristocratic circles. It serves as a reminder that even those born into privilege can be entangled in scandalous affairs that captivate public attention for generations to come. Preserved within a private collection today, this remarkable photograph print by Stefano Bianchetti allows us to delve into an important chapter of French history while marveling at its artistic representation.
