EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 18th century in France, during the reign of Louis XV. It depicts a scene from the Jansenism movement, specifically the convulsionaries or Jansenist fanatics, as they are being chased out of the cemetery Saint Medard. The engraving beautifully captures the intensity and religious fervor of this historical moment. Jansenism was a religious order that emerged in opposition to certain teachings of the Catholic Church at that time. These devout followers believed in strict adherence to predestination and divine grace, which often led to intense spiritual experiences such as convulsions and trances. In this image, we witness these passionate individuals being expelled from their sacred burial ground by authorities who deemed their practices unacceptable. The composition is strikingly detailed, showcasing every emotion etched on their faces as they face persecution for their beliefs. The artist Stefano Bianchetti skillfully brings this significant event to life through his masterful engraving technique. Through his work, he not only highlights an important chapter in French history but also prompts viewers to reflect on themes of faith, devotion, and societal norms. As we gaze upon this powerful image captured by Fine Art Finder's private collection, we are transported back in time and reminded of how religion has shaped societies throughout history.
