EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving takes us back to the year 1709, during a time of great hardship and hunger in France. The scene depicts the distribution of bread at the Louvre, an act of compassion amidst a severe food shortage known as "la disette". The artist, belonging to the French School in the 19th century, skillfully captures the desperation on people's faces as they eagerly await their turn for sustenance. The image is digitally cleaned, allowing us to appreciate every intricate detail that tells a story of survival. Le Magasin Pittoresque (1842) commissioned this illustration, recognizing its power to shed light on historical events. It serves as a reminder of how art can document not only beauty but also moments of struggle and resilience. In this print, loaves of white bread are distributed among those in need. Each slice represents hope and relief from hunger for those who had been deprived for far too long. This simple act symbolizes humanity's ability to come together during times of crisis. As we gaze upon this powerful image captured by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, let it serve as a poignant reminder that even in our modern world where abundance often prevails, there are still many who face daily struggles with access to basic necessities like food.
