EDITORS COMMENTS
In this black and white lithograph, created by Jean-Baptiste Isabey in 1818, we are transported to a dimly lit church where a group of children hold a single candle. The flickering flame casts eerie shadows on the ancient walls, creating an atmosphere that is both haunting and mysterious. The artist skillfully captures the essence of these young souls as they stand together in contemplation. Their innocent faces are illuminated by the gentle glow of the candlelight, highlighting their curiosity and reverence for their surroundings. It is as if they have been entrusted with a sacred duty within this hallowed space. Isabey's lithographic technique adds depth to the image, enhancing its ethereal quality. The ochre tint stone used in printing lends an antique charm to the scene, evoking a sense of nostalgia for times gone by. This powerful composition not only showcases Isabey's artistic prowess but also serves as a testament to France's rich religious heritage. Through his work, he invites us to ponder upon themes of faith and spirituality while reminding us of our connection to history. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this print stands as a testament to Isabey's enduring legacy and his ability to capture profound moments through artistry and imagination.
