EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of intense spiritual struggle within the walls of Paris' Church Sainte Genevieve. Dating back to 1599, this historical church witnessed a dramatic scene as a Capuchin monk attempted to exorcise Martha, a woman who claimed to be possessed by the Devil. The engraving, created in the 19th century and featured in Jules Michelet's "Histoire de France" from 1870, brings this haunting event to life. The image showcases the determination and faith of the clergy as they confront evil head-on. The Capuchin monk stands tall and resolute, his eyes fixed on Martha with unwavering conviction. Meanwhile, Martha herself appears tormented and distressed, her face contorted with fear and anguish. The architectural beauty of Church Sainte Genevieve serves as an eerie backdrop for this supernatural battle between good and evil. Its grandeur juxtaposed against the chaos unfolding within its sacred walls creates a powerful visual contrast. As we gaze upon this thought-provoking engraving by Stefano Bianchetti, we are reminded of humanity's enduring fascination with matters beyond our understanding. It invites us to contemplate questions about faith, madness, and the existence of forces that lie beyond our comprehension. Through this evocative artwork, we are transported back in time to witness an extraordinary moment in French history – one that continues to captivate our imagination centuries later.
