EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful and haunting image captures the tragic scene of a young girl consumed by religious mania in East Prussia. In this colour lithograph created by the French School in the 20th century, we witness the devastating consequences of fervent faith taken to extreme measures. The girl is depicted kneeling at the foot of a Cross, her body engulfed in flames as she burns herself to death. The intensity of her devotion is evident as she douses her clothes in petrol, driven by an uncontrollable mystical frenzy. This illustration was originally featured in Le Petit Journal on October 4th, 1908. The image evokes a sense of horror and disbelief as we contemplate the depths to which religious fanaticism can lead. It serves as a stark reminder that blind devotion can have dire consequences when taken to such extremes. The artist skillfully portrays not only the physical act of self-immolation but also conveys the psychological turmoil within this young girl's mind. Her face reflects both pain and ecstasy, capturing the complex emotions associated with religious mania. This print from Bridgeman Images offers us an opportunity for reflection on themes such as faith, insanity, and tragedy. It reminds us that while religion can provide solace and guidance for many, it must be approached with caution and moderation to prevent such devastating outcomes.
