EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph print captures the enigmatic figure of Henri de Joyeuse, also known as Pere Ange, in the twilight of his life. Born in 1562 in France, Henri was once a favorite of Henri III, Duke of France, and held a position of great influence at the French court. However, after a series of personal and political disappointments, Henri felt a calling to abandon his worldly pursuits and join the Capuchin Order in Italy around 1595. The Capuchin Order, a branch of the Franciscan tradition, was known for its strict adherence to poverty, chastity, and obedience. Henri, now Pere Ange, embraced this new life wholeheartedly, dedicating himself to a life of prayer, penance, and service to the poor. The photograph shows Pere Ange in his later years, with the worn features of a man who has lived a long and eventful life. His eyes, however, still hold a spark of the intelligence and charisma that once made him a favorite of the French court. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the complexities of human existence and the capacity for transformation. Pere Ange's story is one of ambition, disappointment, and redemption, and his journey from the halls of power to the humble cloisters of the Capuchin Order continues to inspire and intrigue scholars and historians to this day. This photograph print, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the life of a fascinating historical figure, and serves as a reminder of the enduring power of the human spirit to overcome adversity and find meaning in the most unexpected places.
