The Unfortunate Calas Family - A Tragic Tale of Prejudice and Persecution
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This poignant print captures the engraved depiction of "The Unfortunate Calas Family" by Delafosse in 1765. The image, originally created by Carmontelle, portrays a historical moment that sheds light on the dark reality of religious discrimination. At its heart, this engraving tells the tragic story of Jean Calas (1698-1762), a French merchant who fell victim to an unjust trial solely because he was a Protestant. In this scene, we witness the family's anguish as they find themselves imprisoned within the confines of their home-turned-prison. The faces etched with anxiety and despair reflect their condemned fate. Their eyes speak volumes about the prejudice they faced and the biased sentence that awaited them. As devout Protestants, they were unfairly targeted for their beliefs during a time when religious intolerance ran rampant. Amidst these trying circumstances, one cannot help but notice how tightly knit this family remains. Reading together from La Providence, their shared faith provides solace and strength in times of adversity. This powerful artwork serves as a reminder not only of past injustices but also as an enduring symbol against discrimination. It stands as a testament to those who have suffered due to religious or any other form of prejudice throughout history—a call for empathy and understanding that resonates even today.
