EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the solemn moment of the Removal of the body of Mary Magdalene to the Abbey of Vezelay. Taken from Paul Lacroix's book "Military and Religious Life in the Middle Ages" published in London around 1880, this lithograph showcases a scene filled with historical significance. The image depicts St. Baudillon and Chevalier Gerard de Roussillon carefully transporting the body of Mary Magdalene to its final resting place at the Abbey of Vezelay. Girart de Roussillon, known for his piety and as a Burgundian ruler who became Count of Paris, founded this renowned abbey. The photograph highlights not only the legend surrounding Mary Magdalene but also showcases elements such as Romanesque architecture and a beautiful rose window within the church. The presence of monks adds an aura of spirituality to this medieval setting. With its intricate details and rich colors, this print transports viewers back in time to witness a significant event steeped in romance and French history. It is based on a 15th-century miniature that has been masterfully captured by an anonymous French artist from centuries ago. This remarkable piece serves as both an artistic treasure and a historical document, allowing us to delve into France's past while appreciating its cultural heritage.
