EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a haunting scene from history, depicting the View of the Town Hall in Marseille during the devastating plague of 1720. Painted by Michel Serre, this detailed oil on canvas artwork showcases the misery and despair that engulfed society during this dark period. The image portrays a bustling street view filled with people from all walks of life. The aristocracy can be seen riding on horseback, symbolizing their wealth and privilege amidst the chaos. Meanwhile, impoverished citizens struggle to survive as they pull carts filled with their meager belongings. Amidst this backdrop of poverty and disease, a sense of urgency permeates the air. The presence of horses and transport vehicles highlights the desperate attempts made to control or escape from the epidemic's grasp. The painting also serves as a stark reminder of how illness does not discriminate; both nobles and paupers fall victim to its merciless grip. Death is an ever-present specter in this scene, reminding us of the fragility of life during times when hygiene was lacking and medical knowledge limited. Through Jean Bernard's lens, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the hardships faced by inhabitants during one of Europe's most devastating outbreaks. This print stands as a testament to human resilience in times marked by suffering and serves as a powerful reminder for future generations about our shared vulnerability in face of pandemics throughout history.
