This chromolithography print from the 19th century showcases the intriguing Convulsionary practices of the Jansenist fanatics at the cemetery Saint Medard during the reign of Louis XV. The image depicts a scene filled with religious fervor and mysticism, as believers engage in intense convulsions and ecstatic movements. The Convulsionnaires of Saint-Medard were known for their extreme devotion to Jansenism, a controversial Christian movement that emphasized predestination and strict moral discipline. This print offers a glimpse into their passionate worship, highlighting both their faith and fanaticism. The composition is rich in detail, capturing the chaotic atmosphere of this religious gathering. The figures are depicted in various states of convulsion, demonstrating their deep spiritual connection and surrender to divine forces. Surrounding them are tombstones and crosses, symbolizing both death and resurrection. Through this artwork, we witness not only an expression of religious belief but also a reflection on superstition prevalent during that time period. It serves as a reminder of how faith can manifest itself in different ways within society. This chromolithography print by Stefano Bianchetti provides us with valuable insight into French history, showcasing an important aspect of religious life during the 18th century.
