EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts a pivotal moment from Giacomo Meyerbeer's grand opera, "The Prophet" (L'Étoile du Nord, or L4 in some sources), composed in 1849. In this scene from Act Four, Scene Four, Jean of Leyden (played by a prominent operatic tenor) is about to be crowned as the new leader of the Anabaptist community in Munster, Germany, when he is unexpectedly recognized by his mother. The moment of triumph is suddenly turned into an embarrassment as Jean had claimed divine origin and rejected his earthly family ties. The historical background of this opera is rooted in the 16th-century Anabaptist movement, a religious sect that rejected infant baptism and advocated for adult baptism. Jean of Leyden, a charismatic leader, gained a significant following and proclaimed himself to be the new Moses, leading his followers to establish a theocratic state in Munster. However, his reign was short-lived, as the city was eventually stormed by the Catholic forces, leading to the deaths of thousands of Anabaptists. Meyerbeer's opera, with a libretto by Eugène Scribe, is a dramatic retelling of this historical event. The scene captured in this print is a poignant reminder of the human side of Jean's story, showcasing the complexities of power, identity, and family ties. The intricate costumes, expressive gestures, and intense emotions conveyed by the performers bring this historical moment to life, making it a fascinating piece of musical and theatrical history.
