The Convulsionaries of the parish cemetery Saint-Medard in Paris
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a moment frozen in time, depicting the intriguing practice of the Convulsionaries at the parish cemetery Saint-Medard in Paris. Taken from an engraving by French School artists during the 18th century, this image is part of Louis Basile Carre de Montgeron's renowned work "La verite des miracles de M. de Paris". In this historical illustration, we witness a group of religious pilgrims exhibiting convulsions on the churchyard grounds. Associated with the Jansenist movement, these fervent individuals believed that their convulsive fits were manifestations of divine intervention and healing powers. The scene unfolds amidst tombstones and crosses, creating an eerie yet mesmerizing atmosphere. The presence of both male and female figures adds to the mysticism surrounding this unique religious sect. During the reign of Louis XV between 1727 and 1732, these convulsionaires gained notoriety for their fanatical practices. Their agitations attracted crowds seeking miraculous cures or simply drawn to voyeuristic fascination. This print serves as a window into a world where religion meets madness, mystics challenge conventionality, and faith intertwines with physicality. It invites us to contemplate questions about belief systems, spirituality, and human nature itself. Displayed at Musee Carnavalet in Paris today, this historic image continues to captivate viewers with its enigmatic portrayal of devotion bordering on obsession – forever capturing a moment when religion took hold in extraordinary ways within society's boundaries.
